FAQ

There are lockers in the basement cloakroom where you can store your luggage while visiting the museum. Backpacks and large bags are not permitted in the exhibition galleries.
At TID, you are welcome to have food and drinks. There is a place indoors and several areas outdoors in the courtyard spaces where you can enjoy them.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the museum grounds, including the courtyard areas.
No, children under the age of 17 are not allowed to visit the museum on their own. For example, if you are bringing a younger brother or sister and are responsible for them, you must be at least 18 years old.
You are welcome to bring your dog into the courtyard areas at TID, but unfortunately dogs are not allowed inside the museum itself. Service dogs are, of course, an exception.
We recommend allowing between 1.5 and 2 hours for a visit to TID. Please note that there are several exhibitions where children can play.
We therefore also recommend that you read more under Visit with children.
Accessibility
TID is located within a block of historic buildings, the oldest of which dates back to 1547.
The main building is a modern building from 2013 with an elevator and an accessible toilet.
The old houses are uneven, with many steps and staircases. The courtyards are paved with cobblestones, which may require good balance. Access to all exhibitions in the old historic houses is therefore limited.
Visit with children
Children make wonderful museum guests.
Tips for visiting with children
Children can help us discover things, places, and connections that we might never have found on our own. In the exhibitions, it can be a special experience for both adults and children if the child’s curiosity is allowed to lead the way.
Maybe you can invent a game? For example: find the object you would most like to take home to your room, spot the most beautiful colour, or the quirkiest item in the museum. The story is yours, and it’s waiting for you.
In these two exhibitions, climbing, touching, and hands-on activities are encouraged, engaging all your senses. You can examine real historic museum objects, explore history, and play your way back to the 1800s.
Both exhibitions are accessible from Møntestræde, and our staff are happy to help you find your way.
TID consists of many different buildings, some of which are quite old. There are high steps between rooms that little legs may need help with. There are also staircases and cobblestones.
Museum shop
Art, history, and lifestyle combined in one shop.
The museum shop at TID is more than just a shop – it’s an extension of the museum’s stories. Here, you can explore Odense’s history, Funen’s cultural heritage, and strong artistic voices, with a special tribute to one of Denmark’s most groundbreaking sculptors: Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen.
In the shop, you’ll find a carefully selected range of products that reflect Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s sense of form, nature, and strength – as well as the museum’s focus on quality and local roots, including:
- Posters and postcards featuring motifs from the exhibition
- Art books and catalogues about Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s life and works
- Quality paper, paints, and other art supplies
Additionally, the shop offers a wide selection of books on archaeology and history, as well as a larger range of items for the museum’s younger visitors.
The museum shop is open to everyone, even without a museum ticket. If you have an annual pass, you receive 10% off items purchased in the shop.
