The Human in the Monastery – A Sensory Journey at Esrum Monastery

Experience Monastic Life

The exhibition transports visitors back in time to when monks lived by strict rules and daily prayers. Personal stories from a monk, an abbot, and a lay brother provide an intimate insight into life within the monastery walls.

The exhibition has been created in collaboration with YOKE and Dark Matters and is supported by the Knud Højgaard Foundation.

Explore the Monastery’s Surroundings

As an extension of the exhibition, The Monastery in the Landscape offers outdoor experiences that provide glimpses of the monastery’s former grandeur.

Step into history and experience Esrum Monastery from both inside and out.
