Buy a community ticket for Museum MorsOrigins – Belonging and Identity on Mors
The exhibition Origins offers a unique and beautiful insight into belonging and identity on Mors, both in the past and today. It was created through a collaboration between a professional photographer, a cultural historian, and the museum.
The first two traveled across the island by bicycle, interviewing and photographing residents of Mors in 2025, while the museum places today’s Mors inhabitants in a historical context using old photos and objects.
The exhibition was made possible with support from the Augustinus Foundation and the Aage and Louis Hansen Foundation.
Origins can be seen at Dueholm Monastery until the end of 2026.
The Fossils Speak – a seabed full of insects
The special exhibition at the Fossil and Moler Museum will focus on insects.
From 30 March, visitors can see The Fossils Speak at the Fossil and Moler Museum, showcasing the many fossilized insects especially found in the moler deposits in and around Mors. The exhibition is a travelling display, created by the museum in collaboration with, among others, the Natural History Museum in Aarhus.
Among the many remarkable finds is the earwig from Mors moler, which in autumn 2024 attracted widespread attention both in Denmark and abroad.
The exhibition can be seen at the Fossil and Moler Museum from 30 March to 31 October 2026.
Constantin – the man behind the Squirrel Stove
One of the things many people associate with Morsø Iron Foundry is the little squirrel that has adorned a large part of the factory’s wood-burning stoves over the years.
The squirrel first appeared on the series of stoves that the nationally renowned company launched in 1933, and to this day, the little rodent can still be found on several of the company’s products.
The man behind the iconic Squirrel Stove and a host of other Morsø Iron Foundry products was Constantin Sørensen. He was not only a designer of timeless cast-iron products but also a man whose life and work left a mark on many other areas of the town where he spent most of his life.
The exhibition tells the story of Constantin Sørensen’s life and showcases a selection of his products.
The exhibition can be seen at the Foundry Museum until week 40, 2026.
SNE! – Mors at the Freezing Point
Opens 30 April 2026 at Dueholm Monastery
There was a time when snow lay thick over Mors, and winter was something you really felt. Back when dad was a boy, the Limfjord froze over, and the whole island became one big playground for skiing, skating, and sledding for miles.
The special exhibition SNE! – Mors at the Freezing Point takes you back to the cold, white winters that many remember – and that some have never experienced. It features plenty of photos, film clips, and stories about the role of snow in everyday life and the magic of winter on Mors. It is a cultural-historical celebration of frost, snow, cold, and ice – all the things we rarely see anymore.
Feel the chill at Dueholm Monastery from April 2026.
