Time seems to stand still along a canal in the Old Town in Århus, Denmark. The Old Town is actually a living museum. The historic buildings and their furnishings have been moved there from various other locations around Denmark, effectively re-creating the look and feel of an old Danish market town. The Danes also hold an annual celebration of somewhat less genteel ancestors—the marauding Vikings.
