Danish term

Als Hjemstavnsmuseet

Non-PRO Danish to English Other Tourism & Travel tourism
Is this a national museum or a regional museum, or something else, please? 'Hjemstavn' appears to mean both regional and national in different senses.

Hjemstavnsmuseet er indrettet i en stråtaekt bindingsvaerkshus, der ligger lunt i lae af den vaeldige 'Als havbakke'.
Very little time to try and find out if it's named in English in the various references I've noticed.
TIA,
Helen

Peer comment(s):

agree Pernille Chapman : Or perhaps "Regional Museum for (the island of) Als" if you want to avoid an apostrophe

The Local museum

I don't see why the Hjemstavnsmuseet on Als would be national. This type of museums (like the German "Heimatmuseum")covers all mostly small exhibitions on local history and culture and can be found in many places
