Reviews
"This is one of my favorite places I visited on my trip to Solvang! It is a small museum that is free but you can donate money for its cause.I might be a bit biased as I loved this author since I was a kid and I learned lots of new information about him. There was a very cute house replica and it was quite unique, I do not remember seeing anything like that in any other museum. There were shelves filled with Han's books translated into different languages, which was quite cool: not only you can see what books in other languages look like but also see the differences in art styles."
"Just a book store with a couple of historical placards on the life & times of HCA. Was amazed to see the number of popular books he has written. Some of the titles have become commonly used phrases, like "Ugly Duckling*. His struggles culminating in grand success is an inspiring tale."
"Didn't know Hans was also an incredible artist with his amazing paper cutouts. This museum is a must see in Solvang! Learned so much about him here."
"Loved it! Super cute bookstore downstairs. A lot of unique books. The museum was small but we spent a good 20 minutes reading the history."
"If you like these fairy tales from Andersen, you will not want to miss this small museum and bookstore. It’s free to public. The museum is on second floor when the bookstore is on the street level. There’s no restroom for public usage. But you can find it in nearby park which is only a few steps away."
