Anchers Hus

Stephen Taylor/Alamy

Interior of Anchers Hus, the home of Danish painters Michael and Anna Ancher in Skagen, Denmark.

Time stands still at the atmospheric former home of renowned Skagen painters Anna and Michael Ancher (pictured together on the 1000kr banknote). Anchers Hus (skagenkunstmuseer.dk; adult/child 90kr/free) has been preserved as if they have just popped out, with beautiful rooms brimful of curios and paintings. You can inspect the family's personal possessions and around 250 works of art from Scandinavian, German, Dutch and British artists. The venue also includes a cafe, small shop and separate gallery for temporary exhibitions.

A combination ticket (along with the Skagens Museum) also gets you into the Drachmanns Hus.
