The Industrial History Adventure playground is located outside the ‘Industrial Museum’ in Horsens (Jutland, Denmark): the playground brings history to life by providing a space for children to experience some of the machines that they can learn about in the museum. The playground is designed to cater for all ages and has a large challenging play area for the older children and an area for younger kids with smaller, low-to-the-ground elements. The centrepiece, the 8m tall gas tank, comprises a small play area at the bottom with a gas cooker and ramps, rope nets and platforms that create fun climbing routes up to the top platform, where the huge tube slide can be accessed. Next to the gas tank, the bright red steam engine pays tribute to one of the most important inventions of the industrial revolution. Inside, there are fun interactive features to explore. Beyond the main structures, there is a cogwheel climbing course, a nut-shaped playhouse, basket swings, a smaller slide and several classic Nimbus motorcycles on springs. The playground was gifted to the museum and the town by the ‘Schur Foundation’ in celebration of Schur’s 175 year anniversary.
