Across Oceans, Across Time ® … “Happy Danes on the Plains” – An international traveling exhibition
By Tova Brandt, M.A., Albert Ravenholt Curator of Danish-American Culture, Museum of Danish America, Elk Horn, Iowa —
The Museum of Danish America in Elk Horn, Iowa is proud to present the American version of “Grundtvig på prærien – dankse invandrermiljøer i USA,” an exhibition organized by the Skanderborg Museum and currently touring Danish museums. This exhibit explores the history of Danish-American communities that were organized with the goal of preserving Danish heritage in America, inspired by Danish theologian N.F.S. Grundtvig. Now translated into English, the exhibit is traveling this country, especially visiting the communities that comprise its story.
