2000s: Letters across the continents can reveal the truth of the past
Meet Me at the Museum
What you need to know before your trail
Sometimes it takes a stranger to really know who you are
When Tina Hopgood writes a letter of regret to a man she has never met, she doesn’t expect a reply.
When Anders Larsen, a lonely museum curator, answers it, nor does he.
They’re both searching for something, they just don’t know it yet.
Anders has lost his wife, along with his hopes and dreams for the future. Tina is trapped in a marriage she doesn’t remember choosing.
Slowly their correspondence blossoms as they bare their souls to each other with stories of joy, anguish and discovery. But then Tina’s letters suddenly cease, and Anders is thrown into despair.
Can their unexpected friendship survive?

Bury St Edmunds
The town in East Anglia where the whole mystery begins. There’s no locations here as such but the journey across the North Sea to reveals a journey which started many many years ago.
Silkeborg, Denmark
The village is called the outdoor capital of Denmark and it’s not hard to see why. It’s been called “The Lake District of Denmark” and on the website they say “We are surrounded by open waters, great forest areas and the most stunning views in all the land. It is the perfect place for a holiday in nature.”
Letters come from the Silkeborg museum in Denmark:
“Here you can see the Elling Woman as well as the Tolland Man and an exhibition looks at all aspects of those who live in the Iron Age; for instance, what they believed in, how they lived, how they mined and worked he mineral that gives the period its name”
The Naturhistorisk Museum is also involved with working on the DNA of the Tollund man
