Birthplace and museum for the Danish poet and scientist J. P. Jacobsen (1847-1885). As a young man, he studied Botany at the University of Copenhagen and later translated the works of Charles Darwin. As a poet, J. P. Jacobsen introduced the literary genres of Modernism and Naturalism to a Danish audience. He died at the young age of 38 to tuberculosis, and although he wasn't a very productive writer, his work has found a broad international interest, inspiring literary giants like Rainer Maria Rilke and James Joyce no less, and his books have been translated to more than 30 languages.
