 In Ebeltoft is Denmark’s only international museum of contemporary glass art. Get close to the glass in the exhibitions, which are renewed
several times a year. There is always at least three exhibitions. Apart from the alternating international exhibitions, the museum has a large permanent collection, which has been loaned out or donated by 700 artists from all over the world.
 A large part of Djursland’s history is closely linked to the many castles and manors in the area. There are actually seven of them. Visit them and experience stepping into the noble olden times of
Denmark.
Djursland is also blessed with an extraordinary number of churches. No less than 80 churches can be found in the area. A large number of them hold interesting murals, altarpieces or pulpits. In Thorsager, you will find the only round church in Jutland. In many of the churches, church concerts are held. The concert programme is available in the porches and at the tourist information centres.
