Last week

We loved the history of all the ages, the Egtved Girl burried with a 5/6 year old girl around 13 hundered and something BC. Suddenly you hear a whisper- and it's the automated screen of her telling you a little about herself. There are interactive things- see yourself in different hats etc., and take a photo' of yourself in it. It's all good!
