Et levende museumsfællesskab, hvor købstadsgårde, kunstnerhjem, vikingeskib og slotsmiljøer tilsammen fortæller den mangfoldige historie om Østfyn.

I Kerteminde by kan du især dykke ned i Farvergårdens udstillinger om livet som fisker og håndværker, opleve den hyggelige museumshave og slå dig ned i caféen eller den lille butik med nostalgiske varer. Museet er oplagt som kulturstop på en dagstur langs kysten, hvor du kan kombinere byvandring, havn og strand med fordybelse i egnens historie.
