Anne Hvides Gård
This cross-timbered house looks a little tipsy, like it's had too much to drink, lying as it does in the center of the Torvet, the old market square. Actually it's the oldest secular house in Svendborg, dating from 1558 and operated today as a branch of the County Museum. This is another one of those "let's raid the attic to see what we can find" types of museums. Its most dramatic features are the re-creations of interiors from the 18th and 19th centuries, and there are plenty of silver objects, glassware, copper and brass utensils, and the inevitable faience. Temporary cultural exhibitions are also presented here.
