Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2021
- We visit the newly opened H.C. Andersens House/Museum in Odense, Denmark. It is such a wonderful space that is still being finished. It is already worth the visit though, and next summer when the nice weather hits it will be very impressive.
Make sure to check it out!
We also eat some traditional Danish food at a restaurant before heading out of town.

A wonderful museum and a beautiful park.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
Awesome, you are welcome!
You guys have Seen more of Denmark than I have in my entire life 😀, nice to see that you embrace the country
A new enjoyable video, as always. When you say Danish words (like "tarteletter") it is very noticeable how your pronounciation has improved a lot.
A thing I really enjoy with your videos, is how they make me see Denmark from a different perspective. It is enlightening to discover things one would otherwise never think about.
Miranda, your accent is improving by leaps and bounds!! 👏
H.C. has always been one of my favorite authors, despite/or maybe bc of? the fact that his fairy tales don't always have a happy ending 💗🥺
Thanks for bringing us along to Odense
hello from Hundested 🌸 🌱
You are really progressing in your danish, especially the word endings like in tartelett(er) and Odens(e) is loosing the american sounds like hard R's, the only thing I could really point a finger at was the hard "D" in Odense when its really a soft "D" sound. Very impressed by your improvement. :) Love you guys and you chill representation of the american moving to denmark storytelling and exploring the world I have grown to take forgranted for so many years making it new again
First of all: I love your videos :-) And then: May I recommend you to go to the Assistens Cemetery in Nørrebro in Copenhagen? There you can find many Danish celebrities buried, which are also known in the USA - including Søren Kirkegaard, Niels Bohr and Hans Christian Andersen. I think that could be an interesting video for your friends and family back in the US?
I went to school on Nørrebro and we would often walk around there, it’s such a great place.
Also all the plants, bushes and trees are from all across the world. Mostly brought in by trading sailors. If i remember correctly one of the trees between H.C Andersens grave and Niels Bohr's is from South America and is the only of its kind in Nothern Europe and is home to a specific bird species that only lives there for like 3 months a year before it flies south of sahara.
Wow, thank you, I just went there..ua-cam.com/video/ZyeVCv-YOqg/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing. I will never visit it myself and was interested in Kengo Kuma so you showing it around helped
You "guys" must live by H.C.Andersen words - At rejse er at leve . Thanks for the tour.
My Mormor was born in Odense in 1873 ..I would like to seethe new museum. Have seen the old one.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇩🇰🇩🇰❤️❤️
I just find you to day.. and im soo happy am glad! Best you tube family ever!
Thanks, I’m glad you found us :).
This new place looks so much better than the old museum. You made me want to go see it.
There is a beautiful H.C.Andersen statue in NY Central Park, with some ducklings.
So nice video 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks!
Great video. Thanks💕
I have READING MANY OF H.C.ANDERSENS AMAZING FAIRYTALES in MY LIFE .
IT WAS A BEAUTIFULLY PLACE HOUSE ,NOW MUSEUM in ODENSE , HE WAS BORN And GROWN UP ,WHEN HE WAS A BOY .
I AM PROUD OF THAT HE IS FROM DENMARK ,ODENSE. So MANY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD , DO LOVE HIM AND HIS FAIYTALES .
THANKS FOR SHARING VIDEO ,NICE GOOD FRIENDS, TRAVELIN ´YOUNG : )
Every time you go west I'm thinking, Oh no - the bridge!
Haha, I am adjusting slowly. This smaller car helps a ton.
That looks wonderful- will definitely check it out soon.
Thanks for all i didn't know, i learned from you, and i’am danish, you learn me more than my school did… Thank’s😊
My daughter and I also went during this "soft opening" without the audio. Like you, we'll definitely visit again after the soft opening ends.
Both my daughter and I were excited about the museum 👍
As a citizen of Odense I find it hilarious that we made the whole identity of the city about him when he clearly got the hell out of here as soon as he was old enough to do so.
I went quite a few weeks ago when they had just opened. There's been clearly quite a few changes already, both inside and outside of the museum. They were using the audio tour initially but it wasn't working too well and at times was a little confusing, so I can see why they've chosen to not use it for the moment. As you say, he was prolific and so many of our childhood fairytales were written by him, but he was also a very complex person. Great review. It is also worth pointing out that the central train station is only a few minutes walk to the museum also, with regular trains from Copenhagen.
You really need to do a revisit, it way better now.
We went to visit the museum too this fall holiday. It was a bit lacking for us, but that was probably also cause we had two somewhat tired kids with us (age 9 and 7), so we did not have as much focus to really immerse ourselves into the experience and read all the stuff. But I got to show up my memory of fairytales, bit show off-ish, but still - I have all this information in my head, might as well use it just now and then.
We just returned from Odense today after spending the day with "magical days" which happens every fall holiday. I would really recommend that - especially with kids. We got to make our own wands at the wood cutter, got a guided tour of the mystical Odensen in the Volvo bus from 1966 and so many other things. Not to mention all the cosplayers and actors that are walking the streets today and tomorrow. So if you have time, I'd recommend another visit.
It used to be a Harry Potter festival, but they were told they could not use that name anymore. It has not prevented the whole thing to be a bit like walking around Diagon Alley. with Hogwarts scarves, cloaks, wizards and witches walking around. If you have the time, give it a visit.
Wow, thanks for filming this! I had actually planned to visit the museum in Odense (from CPH) this week, but sadly it didn't go as planned. So I'm happy to see it through your eyes
Bummer you couldn’t go but glad we could help :).
Don't worry Sine. I work at the museum and it has been packed this week. I believe the crowd will be smaller in the weeks to come.
Yeah I bet it was insane during week 42. We were actually there last month, just took a bit to get the video released.
@@videotosse Ah, naturally (bc of fall holiday). Maybe I'll visit when the museum is fully opened :)
loved the video :) Funny thing, I watched it with suntitles enabled and H.C Andersen was translated into Jose Andersson!! Still giggling .... :D
Ha yeah the auto subtitles are odd sometimes. I wish I had time to go through and fix them, but it can make for something funny :).
Love that u loved a trip to my city
well, a delayed welcome to Odense. 😅 Hope you liked the city, greetings from someone who lives in Odense 😄
Helloo...Love From Sri Lanka❤️
Thank you for a lovely video. As I sit here on a grey October Sunday in Oslo, missing Denmark, I was really taken by some of those wonderful exhibits. That mechanical bird was wonderous!
Agree with the other comments, some really spot on Danish words from Miranda there! 😊
Tarteletter, ha ha. Habe you seen the DSB comercials with the puppet Harry on a traintrip to his friends family across the Storebelts bridge where he is «forcefed» tarteletter? 😆
Have a nice weekend dear ❤️❤️❤️
Would have liked to have met you guys, if I had known you were in Odense. Den fynske landsby is also located in Odense, should you come back another time. The HC Andersen museum is a great visit anytime👍☺️
Oh, thank you, such a great review, and a good score as well! Did anyone invite you to come back to Odense and travel on our trams when they start rolling?
Always, when in Odense, get Brunsviger
We did :). We saved that video for a try it on Tuesday segment.
I don't know if it's too late. But have you tried Djurs Sommerland? They have some fun rollercoasters and they really embraced Halloween 🎃 this year, with like 30 thousand pumpkins all over the park.
I love the fairly tale music, by the way🙂
And excellent choices in danish cuisine!
We haven’t had the chance yet! I am hoping to go next summer.
Hey nice video.
No fact?
Love what you are doing
We realized after the point that we could add it in that we had missed it!! Maybe we'll do two facts next week :D
Josh, I think you need to rethink your definition of "not that far". I mean, you still have to cross the devils bridge remember! ;)
Haha, true! And every minute I’m driving across feels like 5 :).
@@TravelinYoung
Beware, i’ve read that the police have found new ways to measure the speed across the bridge. Don’t rush yourself into a speeding ticket. 🏎🚓
@Josh and Miranda - I can't remember if you guys are 'Spa-people' - but if you are, my gf and I will wholeheartedly recommend going to the spa at Great Northern on Fyn. It is probably the most complete and impressive spa experience in Denmark. (not having tried every single one of them - but having tried A LOT).
Oh this sounds like a great trip for me and Maya for some girl time! - M
@@TravelinYoung Oh I absolutely believe you'd love it! :)
OMG you managed to get to it? with all that construction everywhere.
I always recomment people to keep away until 2023 or 2024 when it all should be done ( if they can keep their schedule which they sofar havent been able to on many of the larger things.
Check out..Den Fynske landsby also in Odense...Love your videos.
Thanks! Yeah this is on the list for a future visit to Odense :).
Next time coming to Fyn, you have to get some Brunsviger made the old fashioned way :D
We did get some from a local bakery and shot a future try it on Tuesday. I can’t say how it was made though, all new to me :).
@@TravelinYoung There is a huge difference on how it is made on SJælland and how it is made on Fyn :D
@@Noblemand we got it on Fyn while in Odense :).
have you ever been to Elkhorn Iowa? it got really popular here in Denmark a couple years ago because it is an american city but it is very danish, they even have æbleskiver :P
I haven’t, it is pretty far from places I’ve been. And Iowa hasn’t been too appealing for me, except for the Field of Dreams movie location, need to go there one day :).
@@TravelinYoung I don't know why either I'm not allowed to answer with links or I have sent almost the same message five times and I just can't see it
@@AxelKuno UA-cam tends to erase messages with links.
@@TravelinYoung 1/4 Even without links it doesn't work so I guess I'll try and break it up :D there are a couple of documentaries about Elk Horn
"Danmark på prærien" which is the one that originally created all the hype (i can't find that online though)
@@TravelinYoung 4/4 there is also another city called solvang in California it is said to be the danish capitol in the states but i haven't seen any documentaries about it though
Hej im from Denmark and i thought that you could Also take in Aqua in Silkeborg and experience the Danish nature in fish🐟 and Bird and Nature in center🦢🦆 in the Danish nature and verry nice.😊 or you could also take a trip to Thy and see the guidespark and Danish ynglesteder on Danish Vejlerne for fugle🦢🦆🐣 the wild nature i hele Skandinavien Danish history 🇩🇰🇩🇰.
Alright did you find cheat codes so your pronunciation improved quite a lot in a short span of time?
-but you got to remember it was very poor harsh conditions when he lived there, so HC Andersen left to go to Copenhagen when he got old enough, and that is where his career started
Been wondering... What do you actually do for a living?
We both work in IT. I'm a business analyst spacializing in Salesforce and Josh does IT partner management 😊
When I went to the "soft opening" in August, I got to try audio guide and it's narrated by a lady and H. C. Andersen (not the real person) Unfortunately it didn't work in an optimal way, which is probably why you didn't get to try it. However you got to visit H. C. Andersen's home, which was closed off when I went. 😊
Ah, yeah they had written guides for us. But I appreciate the reduced cost and ability to come back later. They are handling it pretty well.
@@TravelinYoung It is really a great compensation. I'm definitely going back to get the full experience.
Uhh when where you here? I live in Odense 😁
This trip was actually last month in mid Sept. It just took a bit to get it released.
@@TravelinYoung oh okay! I hope you liked it here! 😁
1. You pronounce the D in Odense as a hard D. Its a soft D - in the local dialect it can become so soft it becomes silent.
2. Were you aware you could also visit HCA's childhood home where he lived with his parents age 2 to 14 ? Its about a kilometer from the HCA museum.
3. Given the interest you have displayed in historic things, you might also be interested in visiting "Den Fynske Landsby" (a living history museum where many historic rural buildings have been moved (taken down and put together again as they were) to, or the Saint Knuths Cathedral, where you can see his and his brothers bones on display (they were lynched by an angry mob in the church where they had sought refuge) - some consider him the last viking king.
ahh you went to legoland with the small big brig houses....
A brigg is a ship, you mean "brick", lol...
Whats the music?
Many of the HC Andersen fairytales are quite sad actually. The mermaid doesn't have a happy ending and he actually rewrote it by adding some more at the end. But ofc Disney needs happy endings, so the kids will like it. 🙂 🧜♀️
They are! I always tell people how dark the actual fairytales are. I took a class in Folk and Fairytales in college and it's really interesting to read the actual stories. Some of them are really graphic and the characters have quite terrible endings. The works of Charles Perrault and The Grimm Brothers are equally dark - M
@@TravelinYoung Haha yeah like the original Alice in wonderland
Isn't pariserbøf usually raw? 🤔🤷🏼♀️
I’ve never seen this Danish meal raw before, always cooked minced meat. It isn’t tartare, though that would seem more Parisian.
@@TravelinYoung you're right! I mixed it up with tatar, because of similar toppings etc
This has become a bastardized and Disneyfied experience, once the old part of the house contained the furniture and belongings of HC Andersen, now its a interactive nightmare show and the most real experience happens in the small streets where the house is located.
Why on earth did they serve the pariserbøf on a "møllehjul" ? Worst possible choice of bread for "pariserbøf"
Ligner da en skive franskbrød med birkes men ser nu ikke særlig ristet eller smørstegt ud.
Det er Klosterkroen.
