Fur Museum

Polymixiid - Early Eocene fish from the Fur Formation, Denmark

The Fur Museum is a small natural history museum located in the village of Nederby, not far from the ferry port, in the south of the island named Fur, Denmark. The museum is administered as a part of Museum Salling.

Fur Museum combines exhibitions on the natural history, geology and environment of the island, with an exploration of its cultural and social history. The museum has a large collection of early eocene (55 million years old) fossils found on the island in the "moler" landscape - the Danish name for the Fur Formation - and the underlying Stolle Klint Clay. The museum offers activities including nature walks and fossil hunting in the summer. It has an outside picnic area and a souvenir shop.
