Easter activities at Langeland Museum

Experience wanderlust and Easter cheer at Langelands Museum

In the heart of Rudkøbing, Langelands Museum invites you inside for two experiences that combine history, tradition and creativity. Here, you can immerse yourself in the stories of Langelanders who travelled the world – and take part in a classic Danish Easter tradition.

Wanderlust and homesickness – stories of travelling abroad

The exhibition Wanderlust and homesickness focuses on the many Langelanders who have sought new horizons over the years. For some, the sea was their livelihood, for others, travelling was an opportunity to start over and create a new life.

At Langelands Museum, you will encounter personal stories of courage, deprivation and hope. The exhibition provides an insight into how life outside Langeland shaped people – and how the connection to their home island often remained with them. It is local history with perspective, and an obvious experience for anyone interested in culture, migration and island life.

Cut out Easter letters – a creative Easter activity for the whole family

During Easter, you can combine your visit with a fun and creative activity: cutting out Easter letters. Easter letters are a beloved Danish tradition where paper is transformed into beautiful patterns and small works of art.

Here, both children and adults can immerse themselves, let their imagination run wild and take home a homemade Easter greeting. It is a relaxed activity that fits perfectly into a holiday in Denmark, where there is time for togetherness and immersion.

Experiences near Langelands Museum

When you visit Langelands Museum in Rudkøbing, there is much more to explore. Take a stroll through the cobbled streets of the historic market town, enjoy the atmosphere at the harbour or continue out into the Langeland countryside.

The entire island is part of the UNESCO Global Geopark South Funen Archipelago, where traces of the Ice Age still characterise the landscape. Combine your visit to the museum with a walk along the coast or a trip to one of the many hills offering views of the archipelago. Here, there is time for contemplation and a desire for community – just as Langeland is known for.
