There are two Andersen houses in Odense. One is his childhood home, near St. Knud’s Cathedral, where his family moved in 1807 and where Hans Christian lived from age two until he turned 14. Unless you are a huge fan of Andersen, you can skip this small house and go directly to the H.C. Andersen Museum about a 10-minute walk from there. The H.C. Andersen Museum is in the old town of Odense, which is worth a visit by itself. The museum in this house opened in 1908 and was completely renovated in 2004. You’ll find an extensive collection of the writer’s work, including books, drawings, pictures and much more; you can even listen to some of his stories in many different languages.
The exhibition also takes you into the old house where he was born and lived until the age of two, which is completely renovated and a lot more modern-looking than 200 years ago. Andersen himself never admitted that this actually was the house he lived in, claiming he was too young to remember and that his parents never told him about it. Historians speculate that he was probably too embarrassed by his poor upbringing.
