Treasures of Siam

Experience the story of adventurer Rasmus Havmøller's extraordinary life and feel what captivated and fascinated him so much in Thailand. The Treasures of Siam features several animals and birds that are now endangered or extinct. Come and explore a sensory-rich cabinet of curiosities. 

Children can wear a tropical helmet like Rasmus Havmøller's and join the squirrel Egon and the mouse Malee in exploring the fascinating collection. 

Admission is free for everyone.

The museum shop is located adjacent to the museum's reception.

Rasmus Havmøller and his Siamese wife, Nang Boon Sri, gathered the artifacts in the collection during the twenty years they spent in Siam from 1914 to 1933. The collection was donated to Museum Østjylland around the beginning of the 21^st century. Most parts of the exhibition remain as they were, except for the adding of the stories and listening stations about Rasmus Havmøller and his adventurous life.

Ebeltoft Museum has existed since 1909 and bought the building that houses the collection around 1940. The same year Rasmus Havmøller's collection from Siam was exhibited here. Today you can still visit the old half-timbered house from the 18th century, where you will find the most magnificent collection of Buddhas and Siamese Antiquity tools as well. Here you can also see the old post office or just sit in the outdoors, relax, and enjoy a beautiful day at the museum.
