Sagnlandet Lejre or Lejre Land of Legends is an open-air archaeology museum on the island of Zealand in Denmark. It is situated 4 km northwest of the town of Lejre and 1 km west of Gammel Lejre, which was a major political centre in Iron Age Scandinavia. The museum was originally established as a research institute for experimental archaeology and was known as the Centre for Historical-Archaeological Research (Danish: Historisk-arkæologisk Forsøgscenter) until 2009.
