Karen Blixen Museum Entrance Fees, Location and Contacts
Located in Karen, in what was then British East Africa, the bungalow-style house which is now the Karen Blixen Museum was built in 1912 by the Swedish engineer Åke Sjögren.
The house and its attached property were bought in 1917 by Karen Blixen and her husband, Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke with the intention of operating a coffee plantation.
The Karen Blixen Museum is open every day between 09:30 and 18:00, including on weekends and public holidays.
Visitors have the opportunity to take part in continuously offered guided tours of the house, which features rooms designed in both the original decor and with props from the 1985 film.
The grounds, which feature original equipment from the coffee farm, are also available for touring. There is also a gift shop.
The grounds of the museum are available to rent for weddings, corporate functions, and other events.
