Exhibits in the Roskilde Museum are housed in two of the city's oldest historic houses - "Sukkerhuset" and "Liebes Gård."
Although the focus is on history, the exhibits are 21st-century, with engaging interactive features that tell the story of Roskilde through archaeological finds and a widely varied collection of other artifacts.
The picture it gives of local life goes well beyond Roskilde's own history, encompassing the Viking era, Denmark's political past and present, even the role of religion in Danish life. The museum's Caféen Freunde is a good place for a lunch break.
