From textiles to glassblowing to pottery, the traditions of Denmark are alive and well on display along the many workshops and open galleries of Rønne. Step into a space that feels like the past, present and future have merged into one at the Tower Müther, a UFO-shaped outlook in Binz designed by Ulrich Müther, a major influence on Rügen’s architecture. Wherever you go on this Cultural Expedition, hidden treasures abound.
