The Angel Garden at Skovgaard Museum
Experience the beautiful Angel Garden at Skovgaard Museum, where you can help create this year's Angel Garden. You can pick up an angel at the museum, on which you can write the name of the person you might be missing. The angels are then hung on Christmas trees in the garden.
The Angel Garden
Once again this year, you can help decorate the Angel Garden in the beautiful Christmas town of Viborg. The Skovgaard Museum is once again transforming its beautiful museum garden into the luminous Angel Garden, which has become a very special tradition in Viborg. The Angel Garden symbolises all those we miss and hold in our hearts during the Christmas season.
You can help create the Angel Garden
You can get a free angel on which you can write the name of the person you miss. Then hang the angel on one of the Christmas trees in the garden. The angels are inspired by Joakim Skovgaard's angels from his decoration at Viborg Cathedral.
Christmas at the Museum
This year, you can also meet the Angels of the Angel Garden inside the museum, which focuses on the theme of angels. Here you can experience sculptures from Viborg Museum and Viborg Cathedral, which are included in this year's Christmas exhibition along with selected works from the museum's own collection. Several members of the Skovgaard family have diligently contributed to the collection of biblical works.
The traditional Christmas tree, with P.C. Skovgaard's stork family from 1866 at the top of the tree, will also be on display in the Christmas exhibition. Explore the atmospheric rooms, where Christmas magic fills every nook and cranny, with stories that warm the heart and bring a smile to the faces of children and adults alike.
The museum will be closed on 23, 26 and 31 December and 1 January 2025.
The angels can be picked up during the museum's opening hours Tuesday-Sunday from 11-16.
Admission is free for everyone in December.
