Information about COVID-19

As DGB covers a very large area and offers visitors plenty of space indoors and outdoors, at a very early stage, the Danish authorities rated Den Gamle By a location, at which there is a very low risk of exposure to COVID-19.

We naturally do our utmost to safeguard both you and our employees against infection, and we have therefore implemented precautionary measures in Den Gamle By.

We have:

• clear signposting of recommendations on appropriate conduct
• hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the museum
• Plexiglass screens in the shops
• increased cleaning frequency indoors and outdoors
• restrictions on the number of visitors at a time inside certain houses and shops
• provided for an increased distance between our visitors in our eating places
• made it more likely that you will meet our role players in the streets rather than in the houses

Please observe the following:

• stay at home if you or anyone in your company show(s) even the slightest sign of being infected with corona virus
• cough or sneeze into your sleeve
• keep your distance from other visitors and the museum employees
• wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer during your museum visit
• Wear mask when entering a building, an exhibitions, restaurants, toilets etc. Face masks can be purshased at arrival.

If we learn that a visitor has tested positive for COVID-19, we will examine the visitor's movements in the museum and trace close contacts as well as we can. If, during our mapping, we discover that there has been a high risk of infection, the people affected will be asked to take a COVID-19 test. For the same reason, we ask all our visitors and employees to download and use the "smitte|stop" app (Danish public health authorities' app to contain the spread of COVID-19).

If you have any questions about our precautionary measures, you are very welcome to contact the museum before your visit. By phone: +45 8612 3188 or by email: reception@dengamleby.dk.

We look forward to welcoming you to a safe museum experience.
