Local department of Denmark's National Art Museum (SMK), presenting changing exhibitions. One of the regional highlights. Sometimes special events, usually on weekends. You can eat and dine at the on-site restaurant Centralen Thy, or just have coffee & cake. Naturlandsbyen is a nature centre in adjoining buildings. Here you can learn basic archery on Thursdays, or visit the open workshops of a busy vikingship shipyard on Tuesdays. The surrounding landscape invites for a nature stroll and there is a bathing pier nearby if you feel for a dip.

Changing art exhibitions with contemporary art, mostly sculpture, video, and installation art, presenting a broad range of both Danish and international artists. The exhibitions are located in the historic countryside manor of Boddum Bisgaard on the Limfjord coast opposite SMK Thy.
Dover Plantage og Ydby Hede
Beautiful forest, hills, and heathland offering a good nature hike. The area holds no less than 49 ancient barrows from the Nordic Bronze Age. The forest is privately owned, but welcomes hikers along a trail marked with black arrows. Start out from the village of Ydby and walk east from there through the Dover forests, or drive directly to the Ydby Heath where the barrows are located. There are parking lots both west and east of the heathland. A roundtrip of the heathland is just 1.7 kilometres, although it can be extended, while the forest hike is much longer.
Art and pre-history museum.
Art shop, gallery, and café, presenting uniquas from local artists (paintings, ceramics, textiles, and photography). Sometimes you can watch artists work, or be creative yourself. The café sells lunch, coffee & cakes, and you are welcome just for that.
Every Monday in July is market day in the high street of Bredgade, attracting local businesses in and around Hurup. Pop-up stands, hawkers, music, and various entertainment.
Nice small town park worth a visit if you happens to be in Hurup.
