Discover Yourself

The museum Øhavsmuseet is situated in Faaborg, surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes of Denmark. The nature around Faaborg is unique and very varied with ice age landscapes, wooded areas, and the archipelago. In the summer of 2021, Øhavsmuseet opened a new, innovative exhibition concept ‘Discover Yourself’ in a disused warehouse at the harbor in the old town.

The exhibition is about the importance of nature for humans of today and for our ancestors. Nature has always played a central part in the lives of humans. However, in course of time, industrialization and urbanization have estranged us from the very same nature. ‘Discover Yourself’ allows the audience to explore the history of nature and their own perception of nature in different ways – through senses, narratives, and various tests.

‘Discover Yourself’ opened with a lot of media attention and has been extremely well received by the visitors.
