The History of the Primeval Forest
Skjoldungernes Land National Park
Permanent exhibition
2025
The stable at the old forest ranger’s estate in Bidstrup Forests near Hvalsø now houses the exhibition “The History of the Primeval Forest”, which tells the story of nature’s development from the Ice Age to the present day.
The exhibition shows what happened after the ice retreated, leaving behind vast steppes that were gradually inhabited by animals, plants, and Stone Age humans on the hunt. Both children and adults can, among other things, enjoy the fascinating story of the many different species—such as mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, and saber-toothed cats—that have lived in the area over time.
The project has been developed in close collaboration with Skjoldungernes Land National Park and the Danish Nature Agency, and it serves as an entrance to the new nature national park in Bidstrup Forest.

"In 2025, we proudly inaugurated the exhibition ‘The History of the Primeval Forest’ in the barn at the old forest ranger’s estate, Valborup, in the heart of Bidstrup Forests in Skjoldungernes Land National Park. Torden & Lynild, with their extensive expertise in exhibition architecture, played a key role in the project’s management, development, construction, and realization. It has been a secure and highly pleasant collaboration. Thank you very much for that."
