The H. C. Andersens Barndomshjem is the house in which the Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen spent his childhood. Andersen, who was born in 1805, lived in this house from 1807 to 1819.

It's impressive to see how precarious the situation was! Three families lived here, separated. HCA's family had about 15-20 square meters for work, cooking, and living.

Hans Christian Andersen lived in one of the three apartments in the small yellow house on Munkemøllestræde in Odense from the age of 2 to 14.

Today, the two rooms, only one of which housed Hans Christian Andersen's childhood, house a museum.

The small museum in the family home, which opened in 1930, offers insight into the poet's childhood and childhood memories, and how he was inspired for his fairy tales here at a young age. The exhibition in the house is arranged according to the poet's description of the apartment in his autobiographies.
