Day 3 of Western Denmark - Trapholt Museum and Kolding

The final and third day . . . It started with a trip to the Trapholt Museum on the outskirts of Kolding. This was the highlight of my trip. I had studied this museum for a case study awhile back but there wasn't much information about it so I was thrilled to see the daylighting strategies for myself. It is a furniture and modern art museum. Then we went and wandered around Kolding for a bit and had lunch as a group at a cute cafe. There were these two boys that kept getting up to get more æbleskivers (danish pancakes) from the buffet line and each time they would wait at the back of the line of loud Americans and go through the whole line to get to them at the end. Their mother finally came and told them to just cut at the end of the table to get them. It was so cute that they were trying to be polite; you could tell they were getting anxious waiting so long to get their pancakes. Then we went to a castle that had been turned into a museum. There was a mix of very old brick construction with new steel and wood around it. Afterwards we drove three hours back to Copenhagen, what a long weekend.
