Museum (European wind turbine pioneers) and art exhibitions (in converted barn): 13.00 - 17.00
A museum has been set up for Johannes Juul and other European wind turbine pioneers in the property's converted barn. Furthermore, local artists use the building to exhibit their works. For example, association member Ingrid Kristensen's flower wreaths based on finds on Gedser's shores.
Johannes Juul patented a low-voltage stove in the 1930s, which was used and sold until the 1950s. Inspired by Juul's contribution to Danish households, association member Ivan Heine Snedker has delivered household appliances from the same period. Among other things. a high-voltage oven, a Nilfisk vacuum cleaner, a sewing machine, etc.
Gedser Ginkgo Soundgarden was created in 2018 as both a tribute to Johannes Juul and as a prelude to Frank Pecquet's Offshore Symphony. Where the Gedser Wind Turbine converts wind into electricity, the wind sculptures in Soundgarden convert wind into sounds and creative movements. Local citizens and yachtsmen have provided recycled materials and washed-up objects from the beach for the design of the wind sculptures.
Gedser Ginkgo Soundgarden has various herbs, berry bushes and trees, supplied by local citizens. Here a flowering rosemary with a tarragon perennial as a background. Everyone is free to pick and take cuttings, i.a. of ginkgo biloba (hence the name for the garden).
