Hudevad Smithy information

Hudevad Smithy (Danish: Hudevad Smedje), a traditional village smithy which was later expanded with a radiator factory and also developed into a prolific manufacturer of decorative metalwork for churches and other buildings, is now operated as a museum in Hudevad near Årup on the island of Funen, Denmark. The company was operated by four generations of smiths named Hans Rasmussen. The museum combines a working smithy with an exhibition about the transition from traditional craftsmanship to industry and an extensive collection of decorative objects created by Hans Rasmussen II (1883–1975). The museum opened in 2009.^[1]
