Scenic spot introduction:
H.C Andersens Hus was first built in 1905 on the occasion of the centenary of Andersen's birth. The exhibition room was originally built in Andersen's former residence, which is located in the urban area of Odense, a slum known as the "Beggars' City". On a small street, with the expansion of Andersen's reputation and influence of his works, the increase in editions of Andersen's works from all over the world, and the increase in the number of visitors to the museum, it was expanded twice: once in 1930, for the 125th anniversary of Andersen's birth; 1975 marks the 100th anniversary of Andersen's death.Attractions distribution:
