On my last visit to Dragor { a suburb of Copenhagen } i was lucky enough to arrive on a national danish holiday, i say lucky as the previous times, the museum near my friends house as been closed.
I say museum and most people say " boring " but this has a twist, all the outbuildings house goats,pigs,sheep,geese and poultry which are looked after by the people of the village, as well as the gardens were they grow over twenty different vegetables and herbs, but this is no petting zoo as everything at the end of the year is eaten { apart from breeding stock of coarse }. Not only does this show people were there food comes from it promotes good husbandry too.
When i ventured inside it felt as if i had gone back in time, all the volunteering staff were dressed in authentic costumes and were actually working, two men where pressing apples, a lady was baking and another was cooking pork from last years pigs. The museum also has its own gallery with paintings from the 17th century and a fantastic farm shop with preserves that i had never heard of like sweet green tomatoes in a clove syrup. I hope you enjoy the pictures but even better get down there and enjoy the experience.
