The famous finds from the museum – the remains of the Rendswühren Man, the Windeby Girl, the body of the Damendorf Man, as well as the skull of the Osterby Man and the hair of the Dätgen Man were taken to the city of Silkeborg.

According to scientists, these people lived in the first century AD, and some were victims of violence. For now, they will be displayed in Denmark alongside the preserved Tollund and Elling bog mummies.
