克里斯蒂安十世
The Funen Village was founded as a public works project in 1942, during the German occupation of Denmark. The museum's open-air scene opened to the public already in 1944, and was used for patriotic song festivals ("alsangsstævner") during the Occupation. It opened to the public on 1 April 1946. Among the guests attending the opening were King Christian X of Denmark.
