Back from Silkeborg and Herning!

I am back from my long weekend in Silkeborg and Herning, which was filled with visits to businesses and cultural excursions.  On Thursday, our first stop was Saxo Bank.  At Saxo Bank, my class listened to a lecture about the company and observed the trading floor.  Later in the afternoon, we drove four hours to Museum Jorn (Silkeborg Art Museum), where we saw the work of Asger Jorn.  The collection consisted of paintings, sculptures, and ceramics.  In the evening, we attempted to go canoeing, but lasted about 20 minutes in the water because the Denmark rain caught up with us.

Friday it was off to Bang and Olufsen, a high end electronics company known for cutting edge design and high quality equipment.  The four hour visit included a lecture, a factory tour, a tour of the history cave, and a quick stop in the B and O shop.  We then headed to Monsted Kalkgruber, where we explored limestone caves and tasted wine and cheese.

Finally, on Saturday, we toured the Gavno Manor House and tasted beer at Fniks Slotsbryggeri.  The weekend was jam packed with trips and exhausting, but it was worth it to visit all of the interesting places.  Here are some pictures from my weekend:
