The evolutionary stairway
The evolutionary stairway at Moesgaard Museum is not only a key element of the architecture, which leads to the various exhibitions of the museum, it is also very much an opportunity for you to see where we human beings originate from.
On the stairs, you will see seven hominins. They were members of the tribe Hominini, which means ”human species”, but they don't all look like the modern human being.
An international attraction
The Moesgaard Museum is a huge attraction not only because of the architectural design of the museum and the exhibitions but also due to its location in the beautiful natural surroundings south of Aarhus, overlooking the woods and sea. Moesgaard Museum has been awarded two Michelin stars in the Michelin tourist attraction's guide.
