Musée de la Guerre Danoise + Musée de la Résistance Danoise

Très intéressant

Visite de ce musée de l'armée par intermédiaire de la carte PASS CPH discover. Visite intéressante et instructive.

Impressionnant!

Oui, j’ai mis “excellent” sur un musée de la guerre … mais j’assume et j’ai quand même quelques bémols. Balayons les bémols - le 1er étage : belle - grande, très … grande - collection de canons, y en a pour tous les goûts, de toutes les époques … ; une petite propagande pour l’armée; une reconstitution de l’Afghanistan avec témoignages (en danois, je n’ai pas pu en apprécier la teneur), qui prolonge à mon sens la propagande et reste discutable; le dernier bémol : le musée ferme à 17h en février (ce qui ne nous a pas laissé le loisir de tout apprécier… après on a compris que tous les musées à Copenhague ferment à 17h) Les plus : le 2eme étage : une immense et impressionnante collection d’équipements militaires de toutes les époques, d’une grande diversité et d’une provenance variée… un nombre incalculable de maquettes de navire reconstituée à une bonne échelle, au milieu d’autres trésors à contempler pour leur beauté (si on oublie leur utilité) et leur prouesses techniques. Et n’oublions pas dans les plus le bâtiment en lui même. L’arrivée au 2eme étage m’a coupé le souffle (et pas à cause du nombre de marches!)

Un musée superbe, notamment pour les maquettes de la Marine :)

Le musée de la Guerre est, certes, petit mais mérite vraiment le détour. En effet, vous aurez l'occasion de visiter une reconstitution du camp de base des Danois en Afghanistan. Une exposition immersive qui ne laisse pas tranquille avec une véritable portée pédagogique sur la réalité des théâtres. Ensuite, le rez-de-chaussée regroupe l'artillerie (un peu moins intéressant pour mais rigolo). Enfin, le 2ème étage regroupe l'histoire du Danemark ainsi que l'évolution de la marine et des équipements. Les maquettes sont superbes !!! Et on apprend plein plein de choses :) Voilà, à faire quand il fait beau ou moche !

Une collection complète, gigantesque, bien organisé, a voir absolument.

Après un petite entrée trop discrète, on rentre et découvre alors dans un sous-sol géant une collection énorme d’armes lourdes, canons et pièces artillerie, de l’époque des viking jusqu’au année 2010. Ils on même reproduit une scène d’une unité danoise pendant la guerre d’Afghanistan. Ensuite on crois que c’est fini, et la au premier étage encore plus : énorme surprise ! une immense collection super organisé chronologique sur armes légères et moyennes, uniformes, technique, appareillages etc de l’époque de la royauté, viking, 1 et 2 guerre mondiale et jusqu’à maintenant; aussi en parallèle l’évolution des bateaux sous marins frégate etc reproduit en maquette super réaliste. A voir absolument pour les amateurs ou curieux si on va a Copenhague. C’est même dommage qu’il qu’il n’y ai pas assez de pub pour ce superbe musée, bien plus fourni et 10 fois plus intéressant que celui de l’art danois par exemple ...

Interesting!

A surprisingly interesting museum covering the history of Danish wars back in time to recent years.

Flot museum med stor samling

Museet har et stor samling af gamle våben fra nu og da, men er i stand til at formidle samlingerne meget levende uden for mange teksttunge skilte.

Must See for Historic Travelers

A great museum with a complete history of the many wars of Denmark - more than you would expect! Great exhibits on the Danish Navy with many wooden ship models and dioramas of major battles. An interesting exhibit on 'the Warrior's Way' as well. This was one of the best spots in Copenhagen.

Worth visiting

Good museum, not enough information in English though. I was hoping to see more about WW2 but I guess there is another museum dedicated to that. I did not realise what a significant impact the war of 1864 had on Danish history though.

Loved the exhibition on Drones

There was an exhibition on drones which I found very interesting, with some detail on the use of drones on contemporary warfare including in Russia and Ukraine. This was my favourite section. The rest of the museum showcases a pretty detailed presentation of Denmark’s military history, in various formats. Whilst this was interesting too, there was no information that I didn’t feel was easily obtainable online.

Great museum to spend a few hours.

Military history is not really my thing but my 11 year old son wanted to visit. The museum was absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommend. All the information was in English and Danish and it was well curated to be interesting as well as aesthetically pleasing. Bonus that along the middle of the second floor there are activities geared towards kids. After reading about many wars and battles, we could take a break and play "pick up sticks" (it had another name but was a game played by sailors). Read a few more and we could hang out in ship hammocks like sailors of old or try on examples of military uniforms. Your ticket is good for the day so you can leave and come back.

Great museum!

Not to be missed if you are interested in the war and military! I thought I would take a chance with this little museum and was wowed! Modern day drone warfare was the first display on the ground floor, which was very well organised and explained. Upstairs was huge and gave an insight throughout the ages of warfare from way back in history to present day. A fascinating insight.

A great surprise

Went not expecting much but is a great museum, great modern section on afghanistan and so many fascinating set piece upstairs

Danish War Museum

This war museum is a Journey through the Danish War history since 1500. A lot to see and many treasures from the middle ages till now. There's also an exhibition of the Denish military deployment in Afganistan.

Immersive

An excellent and highly extensive exhibition of historical artefacts: weapons, medals, models, uniforms and more. Particularly impressive was the immersive army encampment, complete with a tank that had seen actual combat. Well-organised and visually impressive. There is also a dress-up opportunity.

Danish War Museum

The Danish war museum was an interesting off the beaten path museum. They have an impressive collection of cannon and artillery pieces from their history. They also have a fascinating rendering of a peace keeping base in Afghanistan. Second floor has tons of naval and Air Force exhibits.

MUESTRA LA HISTORIA MILITAR DANESA

Se ubica justo frente a la biblioteca, en el antiguo arsenal del rey Christian IV. Se pueden ver cañones y tanques al ingresar al predio. Un museo que muestra la historia militar danesa a lo largo de 500 años. Podemos ver armas, uniformes y equipamiento bélico.

Unique!

The museum has really nailed the atmosphere! Especially the Afghanistan exhibition was very impactful! Well worth a visit, very cheap as well.

Diverse war museum

Very informative. All staff were polite and helpful with directions and where facilities were. A nice breadth of stuff on display so suitable for whatever period of history you like the most. Very good exhibition on recent conflict in Middle East.

Amazing stuff!

Genuinely really interesting with good information and translation available. We’ve been to many war museums/sites and these still had Incredible things to see that we haven’t seen before. Their camp bastion exhibit was AMAZING!! my husband having been there couldn’t believe how accurate/realistic it was!

Flot "nyt" museum

Fantastisk oplevelse for 9- og 53 årig. Fik rundvisning med hands on på masser af våben og gode forklaringer og historisk info.

Don't let the first floor fool you.

Wow, this was my kind of war museum. The first floor housed the artillery pieces and an Afghanistan, GWOT, walk-thru display. The second floor is a more traditional museum. Great displays of Danish warfare. Huge naval section and displays of armor, uniforms and equipment. Definitely worth the visit.

Fascinating collection of war material

We had not intended to visit but popped in with our Copenhagen Card and were very pleased that we did. We emerged after about 2 hours. There is a vast amount of history on display, particularly upstairs where miles of glass cabinets house model ships, guns, all sorts of artefacts, all very well documented. The photographic exhibition downstairs of the atrocities in Afghanistan and the Ukraine were very emotionally wrenching, but it is important for people to know what is going on. I would keep young children away from that section. A very large convoy of limousines and patrol police had passed us in the street the previous day. We learned that Zelensky was on a state visit. It made the photographs even more pointant.

Understanding Denmark's deadliest conflicts

The Krigsmuseet (War Museum) of Denmark is located near to the Christianborg Palace, where the entrance is marked by a large Yellow signboard "Krigsmuseet". To get to this location, recommend to take the Metro to Gammel Strand Station, and walk southwards. The Copenhagen Card allows you to enter into this attraction for free, but you will need to scan your tickets at the Main Counter. The Krigsmuseet features two levels of attractions, which are all open-spaced (except the War on Afghanistan segment which is closed up) and provides a concise summary about the conflicts which Denmark has been involved in, and how it has shaped its current stance on defence. It's an eye-opener and exposed visitors to the horrors and reality behind conflict, but it isn't for everyone. I would recommend only those interested in seeing a different museum from Palaces and architecture, to try this out.

Rigtig fint museum

Super spændende museum med udstillinger om Danmarks militær gennem de sidste 500 år. Kunne dog være fedt med flere køretøjer end kun tanken i gården, men der findes heldigvis andre museer som har fokus på militære køretøjer. Brugte en 2½ time der.

Bel museo militare

Museo ben realizzato, che espone numerosi cimeli degli eserciti danesi nel tempo. Molto interessante l'esposizione al primo piano, con armi ed uniformi fino alla seconda guerra mondiale, cannoni vari al piano terra assieme ad un allestimento delle moderne missioni di pace all'estero. Merita una visita.

Well done museum, emotionally wrenching

We went during an exhibit about the war in Afghanistan. The exhibit is exceptional -immersive and educational in a way I've rarely experienced. But that, combined with the entry exhibit about the war in Ukraine, was quite emotionally wrenching. I suppose I should expect nothing less of a war museum, but I was surprised at the people bringing their young children to those exhibits. I can imagine that many of them will be traumatized from some of the photos and other memorabilia. I commend the museum for doing such an excellent job of presenting the facts of various historical situations without offering opinions. Don't shy away - DO go, as understanding the facticity of war is essential to being a good citizen. But do yourself a favor and schedule this museum in the morning and then something lighter in the afternoon, perhaps a funny movie, or you might have a hard time sleeping.

Interesting and unique museum

There was a lot of interesting military artefacts to see here. I particularly loved the Afghanistan exhibit, it was presented in a really unique and engaging way

500 years of military history

The museum as a whole was very well laid out and with plenty of space to look at the displays and exhibits, the particular highlight for me was the display of the Afghanistan war, showing an American gun outpost a local stone house and a destroyed American jeep amongst other things, it adds a realism to conflicts going on today. the displays in most cases are hands on and the elastic band guns gave two fortysomethings so much more enjoyment than they should have. A good way to spend a couple of hours.

Una sorpresa

No teníamos planeado venir, simplemente íbamos caminando y decidimos entrar, el museo está muy impuesto, con una gran exposición de armas de diferentes épocas, vale mucho la pena

På Krigsmuseet færst og tilbage vejen fik vi nåde at spise i sandwich baren tæt på.

Det har en god oplevelse vi nåde kun første salen skak s art ind igen ned min familie forlovet og søn. Det er helt vild i kunne lave det Det kinge fra rigtig krig af med tasker, miener, krigs vogne og bomber.

Stupenda

e da vedere uno dei più bei musei militari al mondo. Ci sono cannini regalati a Federico IV il sovrnao inamorato di uan monaca di clausura fiorentina nel 1700 da parte dei veneziani, pezzi di navi bandieri austraiche e s'imparamolto sulle due guerre danesi tedesce. Ottimo il personale i percorsi multimediali e anche molto ma veramente molto bella la prezenza di armi e armature italiane. Guardate anche all'ingresso il carro leopardi 1 che é satto impegnatio in uan batatglia corazzata in bosnia da vedere e da imparare il miglior museo del genere al mondo.

Overraskende spændende museum!

Vi havde en helt overraskende god oplevelse på Krigsmuseet. Vi manglede noget at lave en regnvejrsdag og slog et smut her forbi. Jeg var her med skolen for mange år siden, hvor jeg husker det som kedelige montre på montre. Museet har siden skiftet navn, fra Tøjhusmuseet til det noget mere retvisende Krigsmuseet. Bygningen er flot istandsat og gjort mere levende. Min søn meldte sig på børneaktiviteten som rekrut for en dag. Jeg ved ikke om det var i anledningen af efterårsferien, men det var i hvert fald et hit hos ham. Herefter fik vi en guidet rundvisning i børnehøjde, som vi voksne også fik noget ud af. Vi blev overalt mødt af meget engagerede medarbejdere, og vi kunne have brugt meget længere tid. Der er en stor museumsbutik til.

Spændende og meget gennemført museum

Virkelig mange kanoner. Meget gennemført og virkelighedstro udstilling om Danmarks krig i Afghanistan. (Viser livet som soldat før afrejse, i Afghanistan (en hel base er bygget), og ved hjemkomst). Skal absolut ses!

Passato e presente della guerra

Consiglio vivamente: è il museo della guerra in danimarca e dei danesi fino acinaue secoli fa. Davvero lo consiglio

Sehr interessant

Im EG stehen zunächst nur Kanonen. Die Beschreibungen sind dürftig. Dann kommt eine Sonderausstellung zum Thema Afghanistan. Sehr informativ und mit Sorgfalt gestaltet. Der erste Stock ist sehr gut illustriert und hat sehr gute Exponate. Klar geht es immer besser. Ich habe allerdings viel im 1 Stock über die Skandinavischen Kriege gelernt! .

Guns and Uniforms

Ik ben altijd geïnteresseerd in de geschiedenis van een ander land en dit museum geeft een andere manier om deze geschiedenis weer te geven. Op de begane grond staan kanonnen uit de eeuwen heen uitgestald. Wet staat er een beetje door elkaar heen doch alles is rondom te bekijken. Op de eerste verdieping, te bereiken met een wenteltrap, staan uniformen, handwapens en modellen klaar om de verschillende veldslagen en oorlogen uit de Deense geschiedenis te vertellen. Op platen wordt in het Deens en Engels in het kort het verhaal verteld. Er is een aparte expositieruimte aanwezig om de Deense bijdrage in Afghanistan ten toon te stellen. De eerste verdieping is op dit moment nog in de verbouwing dus het deed hier en daar nog wat rommelig aan. Ik weet echter zeker dat het in de toekomst de presentaties nog beter tot zijn recht komen.

Zeer degelijk uitgebouwd

Gelijkvloers, hoofdzakelijk kanonnen, kanonlopen, allerlei schietmateriaal. Dat leek dus zeer saai maar gelukkig was een gedeelte een eerbetoon aan de Deense soldaten in Afghanistan. Dit was zeer realistisch uitgebouwd en de moeite om te bezoeken. De 1ste verdieping ging over alle mogelijke oorlogen. Dit was wel echt de moeite. Heel veel maquettes van boten, maar ook een gedeelte waarin oorlogen, samen met allerlei gebeurtenissen in dezelfde periode, zeer gedetailleerd werden uitgelegd. Zoals zo vaak, als je echt alles wil doornemen ben je voor uren vertrokken (inbegrepen in Copenhagen Card).

Intressant om danska krig och deras flotta

Besökte museet med anledning av deras utställning om Danmarks deltagande i ISAF kriget i Afghanistan. Intressant och till del gripande att ta del av deras historia från Afghanistan. Danskarna var i en betydligt tuffare region än vi, utställningen gav en intressant inblick i deras upplevelser. I övrigt ger museet en bra beskrivning av Danmarks krig från ca 1500 fram till dags dato. Det ger sig självt att historieskildringen skiljer sig från vår egen och det är alltid intressant att ta del av hur Danmark uppfattade krigen mot oss från Kalmarunionens dagar till början av 1700-talet. Museet är relativt litet och det är i princip bara ens eget intresse för militärhistoria som avgör hur mycket tid man spenderar här.

visita storica

Una notevole raccolta di armi vecchie e nuove, eccellentemente conservate, nel museo anche "pezzi" di notevole valore artistico, ambiente "militare" molto silenzioso e ordinato, c'è anche una ricostruzione di ambienti in teatri internazionali (afghanistan) piuttosto meticolosa, il prezzo di entrata non economico, l'ambiente e pulito, wc compresi. Vale una visita

Im Rahmen der Copenhagen Card

Wir hatten die Copenhagen Card und da war dieses Museum mit dabei. Das Museum hat unten eine riesige Auswahl an Kanone und Artillerie aus mehreren Jahrhunderten. Es ist sehr beeindruckend zu sehen wie der Lauf sich im Jahre verändert hat. Des weiteren hat es unten eine Sonderausstellung zum Afghanistan Krieg gegeben wo man das gefühl hat mittendrin zu sein da alles sehr authentisch nachgebaut ist . Oben eine Ausstellung zur allgemeinen Geschichte des Heeres von Dänemark. Für Kinder jedoch oben eher uninteressant. Ob ich jedoch den Eintritt ohne die Karte bezahlt hätte bezweifle ich. Da es aber im Rahmen der Copenhagen Card inbegriffen ist fand ich es doch spannend.

Mooie opzet, veel te zien

Dit was toch wel één van de mooiste plekken die ik bezocht heb. Men heeft een grote collectie, heeft alles goed gerangschikt en de expositie over de inzet van het Deense leger in Afghanistan is aanbevelenswaardig!

sehr interessant

interessantes Museum, Eintritt in Copenhagen card inklusive. Untern im Erdgeschoss sind Kanonen und Mörser und eine Militärbasis aus Afghanistan, in dem man ein minimales Gefühl für das Leben in so einem Lager erhalten kann. Oben sind die dänischen Kriege mit Sammelstücke verewigt.

Krigisk historia

Tøjhusmuseet är otroligt spännande om man är intresserad av militär historia. Fullt av kanoner, uniformer och annan militär utrustning.

Completa

Me precio un museo precioso par perderte un par de horas, con entrada gratuita ademas. Cuando fui coincidio que ademas habia una exposicion de material de El señor de los anillos. No se podia pedir mas jejej. Sensacional

Myyy treasureee

Estuve en el museo los días de la Exposición mundial de J.J.R. Tolkien, y fue espectacular, trajeron los grabados ,dibujos y mapas originales escritos de la mano del propio Tolkien. Sin mencionar las armas y el resto de objetos originales utilizados en las películas. El museo en general es bastante amplio y muy interesante si quieres conocer algo de la historia bélica de este país, que no es poca. Digno de ver.

top museum

Im Erdgeschoss kann man eine riesige Sammlung von Kanonen, Mörsern und Geschützen begutachten. Ebenfalls im ersten Stock befindet sich ein Weg, der einem durch die Geschichte der Dänen in Afganistan führt. Im Obergeschoss faszinierte mich, al grosser Herr der Ringe Fan, vor allem die Tolkien-Ausstellung. Aber auch die Ausstellung der Dänischen Kriege ist ein Blick wert. Die angenehmen Temperaturen im Sommer und der freie Eintritt machen das Museum zu einem Mussm.

Del av Nationalmuseet. Fri entre. Militärhistoria.

Detta är en del av Nationalmuseet, men ligger en bit bort. Vi ville dit för att se en utställning om 9 april 1940-Då tyskarna kom. Vi hade missat att utställningen inte var på själva Nationalmuseet men vi hann till Töjhuset innan de stängde. Museet är litet och lättillgängligt och klaras av på kort tid om man inte är superintresserad av militärhistoria.

Musée très bien fait

Le musée de la résistance danoise se situe non loin de la statue de la Petite Sirène, au nord est de la ville, facilement accessible via les transports en commun. L'entrée coûte 130 DKK ou alors comprise dans la copenhagen card (CPH). L'accueil est très sympathique et souriant. Tout le musée se situe au sous-sol, ce qui n'est pas habituel pour ce genre de musée. Il se découpe en deux niveaux. Il y a un audioguide mais uniquement en anglais ou danois. Il faut lire des QRcode pour avoir des témoignages, des explications etc. Il n'est pas obligatoire de le prendre, les panneaux explicatifs présents partout dans la salle sont suffisants en eux-mêmes. Le musée est très instructifs, on en apprend davantage sur la résistance des Danois au fil du temps face à l'envahisseur nazi. De nombreuses reconstitutions, témoignages écrits, audios, des extraits de journaux, des lettres, etc., nous éclairent sur une part de l'histoire danoise dans la grande histoire mondiale. Nous avons passé une heure et demie ce qui est suffisant. Un très bon musée loin des foules .

Jam packed Museum of Danish Resistance

From the entrance floor a visitor has no idea what is install, the museum exhibits are on one large underground room, it is jammed packed with information, interactive exhibits/puzzles, short videos, absolutely so well done. The flow in the museum is easy as you are guided methodically along from space to space in a chronological order. Look around the room for seating, it may well be a prop in the exhibition. Our only downfall was that we did not allocate enough time for our visit, at least 2.5 hours if not more. We missed the last fifteen minutes as it was closing time at 5pm sharp. Outstanding museum, many thanks.

Poignant and moving

A very moving and personal experience, highlighting the experiences of several specific individuals from both sides. It was especially poignant and a little disconcerting that they had some of the actual clothing (including fatal bullet holes) and weapons used by them. Staff handed out listening devices in several languages that told their stories. Tip: wait until the timer restarts to start listening.

An Insightful Journey into a Difficult Past

The Museum of Danish Resistance may be small, but it tells an important story about those who opposed Nazi occupation of Denmark during World War II. Officially, the Danish government collaborated with the Nazi occupiers in an attempt to mitigate the most severe consequences of occupation. The Danish people, nonetheless, suffered greatly and some fought back. The Museum tells the story of the thousands of Danish resistors who opposed Nazi rule in a myriad of ways. From publishing pamphlets of Nazi atrocities, to sabotaging road and rail lines, to killing Nazi occupiers. These actions are brought to life through in-depth profiles of members of the resistance. Adding depth to the narrative, the Museum also chronicles the life of a young Dane who joins forces with the Nazis and supports their occupation. The Museum provides an insightful look into an often overlooked chapter of World War II history.

This is a tribute to the bravery of ordinary citizens who stepped up for freedom.

Very interesting museum of WWII in Denmark. The exhibits and audio tour tell the story of the occupation and resistance by following the experiences of 4 people who take different paths during the war. You hear about the sacrifices they made to fight for freedom. We found it very informative and moving.

An enjoyable experience

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the Museum of Danish resistance. I very much enjoyed the interactive audio guide and the stories of the Danish resistance and the many artifacts. My only criticism would be the gift shop, I think it should be slightly larger and have more variety of items especially for international visitors.

Flot moderne mueum

Frihedmuseet er et flot moderne museum, som ikke drukner i genstande, men formidler historien med mange interaktive virkemidler. Lad dig ikke narre af museet størrelse, når du ser det. Det forsætter under jorden i flere etager

Incredible Experience

Best museum I've ever visited, could have easily spent all day here. An amazing insight into the Danish resistance, I was captivated throughout. The museum is much bigger than it appears from outside, as it is all situated underground. It gives so many different perspectives of the people of the time, it's incredibly engaging & interactive, whilst also being so informative & detailed. Would 100% recommend to anyone who has any kind of interest in WW2 or similar.

The Danish WW2 experience

Quality experience with lots of audio stories from four people revolving around their experience under German occupation. Well presented and helpful staff. A wide selection of books are available in the gift/bookstore at the entrance with many in English.

Both interesting and moving

This museum was recommended by someone we met whilst on holiday and I am so glad they did, as we didn't know it existed. It is a really interesting and moving museum following 4 people living through WWll. It's interesting from start to finish with interactive aspects you can take part and many original items from the war, and so much information. Eventually at the end it tells you what happened to the 4 people which helped sadly to tie everything together. Definitely worth a visit if in Copenhagen.

This Museum serves to remind us of the debt we owe all those who were part of the resistance movement.

An outstanding museum that brings to life the courage and bravery of those in the resistance movement. ⸻ The Danish Resistance Museum in Copenhagen is an absolute must-visit. The exhibitions are brilliantly designed—immersive, thoughtful and full of detail—bringing the stories of courage, sacrifice and everyday heroism during the Occupation vividly to life. The museum strikes a perfect balance between personal narratives and the broader history of the resistance, making it both deeply moving and incredibly informative. A special mention must go to the wonderful woman working in the gift shop. She was warm, welcoming and genuinely knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and share insights. Her kindness added a personal touch that made the visit even more memorable. Overall, an outstanding museum and a truly enriching experience. Highly recommended.

Moving, provocative

Very moving, informative and well-designed museum. How would you have behaved if your country was occupied by another much more powerful country? This museum makes you think about courage and recklessness, and difficult choices.

Excellent museum.

Fantastic museum. Cool building. No drinks / food available. Toilets on site. I really enjoyed my visit and learnt a lot about brave members of the Danish resistance during WW2. Some great items on show. Audi guides available. Can get busy. Worth a trip to see the story of Denmark in WW2. Friendly staff as well.

Danish Resistance Museum

I stumbled across this by chance after visiting the little mermaid statue, it wasn’t on the list of things to do and my cousin who is a Dane had never been so we went! Audioguides are available but I didn’t realise so I just read the signs in English. Lots of history here and well worth going to view/hear about the war. I learnt quite a few things and enjoyed my experience here.

Very moving

Absolutely moving and very immersive - really shows the scale of Nazi terror even in a country often seen as a less prominent theatre of the war, like Denmark. The focus on a handful of real figures throughout the occupation gives it a very welcome human touch. A lot of nice artifacts on display too, as well as some interactive exhibits. I think I was there for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half, and didn't feel as if I'd rushed through and missed anything. It was also fairly quiet when I visited in the late afternoon. Nearby the museum there is also statues and busts of various Danes who served in the war, including Anders Lassen.

This is a very good museum on a number of levels.

This is a very good museum. There are some fantastic exhibits and some good story-telling highlighting an extremely important subject. I very much enjoyed two hours here. the museum is very clean, spacious and modern with free lockers and clean toilets. The staff are very helpful. the one area that they do need to improve is the audio guide. It was often very difficult to activate my device at some stations and I found having to hold it as a phone awkward and clumsy. I think an independent device separate from from what anyone else is listening to would be much better.

Immersive, engaging, valuable experience

At the start you are given a small device for scanning QR codes dotted around the museum which will play audio recordings and start projections. Others can then join in to these recordings part way through. As you go through the exhibit you are given an overarching view of Denmark during WW2 occasionally focussing on a handful of people's experiences. This is exactly the kind of museum that we personally like, a focus on a particular subject using a great medium for telling a cohesive and comprehensive story. At one point there are a couple of fun, interactive props. I can imagine struggling to get a turn during busy periods but our visit during the week meant relatively minimal crowds. There were a couple school trips while we were there but the children were very well behaved. Lovely and helpful staff.

A really interesting, informative and very moving exhibition. Highly recommended.

This museum was on my list of places to visit but I didn’t expect to spend so much time there. It is so well done and so interesting. I didn’t know too much about wartime Denmark so I very much enjoyed hearing the stories of real people who lived through it. It’s really quite moving. The museum is very well laid out. There are lockers and cloakroom facilities. It was great to leave our coats as it is pretty cosy in the exhibition areas. There’s also a nice cafe.

Enthralling Museum!

We highly recommend this enthralling museum. We knew little if anything about the Danish experience in World War II and this museum brought it to life through real, fascinating stories of individuals who lived through it. We spent a few hours there and could have spent more. If you have any interest in World War II, you will be glad you visited this museum.

Well worth a visit

Really worth a visit. Lots of interactive parts which are not just for children. We learnt a lot about the resistance and spent about an hour and a half there which didn’t feel rushed. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was very quiet. Only 10 mins from the mermaid so can do both in one visit!

Amazing museum, could spend hours here

Had a great time at the museum. Very informative and interesting. Great to understand what life was like during that time from an individual’s point of view. Unfortunately we had to leave before we reached the end as they were closing. I would definitely recommend coming here earlier in the day. We visited on a Thursday afternoon in October and it was very quiet but I could imagine if it was busier listening to the guide would be difficult. If you have an interest in history I would put this to the top of your list of things to do in Copenhagen!

Very well laid out.

Enjoyed our visit. We try to visit every resistance/holocaust museum in most cities. This one near a beautiful park was very well laid out. Many hands on exhibits to get you involved. Recommended

Worth a visit

What a lovely little museum. It looks small but it’s underground. Really enjoyed how they had set it out and very informative. I think worth a visit. Make sure you take the audio hand set which is free

A gem of a museum

This is a gem of a museum really friendly staff and you can store you day back whilst there. Definitely drop by the café if you have the chance to for a lovely view. The museum is really well organised and there is audio commentary available. I loved the use of technology and chance to the wireless sets used. It is quite dark in the exhibition as it is underground so it can take a little time to adjust. Well spent hour here learning about this era of history

Esta bueno viajar a Dinamarca.

Me gustó mucho y contrariamente a lo que había escuchado, en esta fecha el clima acompaño muy bien los 15 días que estuvimos. Hicimos varias veces playa, fuimos al campo, recorrimos el lado antiguo y el lado moderno de la ciudad. Comimos comida de muchas partes del mundo. La panaderia es espectacular. Alquilamos una lana ha electrica por tres horas y disfrutamos de un picnic en los canales. Viajamos mucho en el transporte publico. A no perderse los parques ni el palacio que esta en las afueras. Recomiendo conocer Dinamarca, es un lindo país, tranquilo, seguro, sorprende.

Excellent - real eye opener!

This is what I was looking for with respect to 20th century Danish history. This is a real eye-opener as Danish history in WW2 is barely covered in the history books. Great displays, friendly and helpful staff! Easy to find too, it is conveniently on the way to Little Mermaid so you must see this. The only comment I would make is that it is, like everywhere in Copenhagen, extremely expensive.

Definitely worth a visit

This is a well thought out museum. Its theme is the Danish reaction to the Nazi takeover in WW2, perhaps not a topic that even those with an interest in history know much about. In addition to the well presented and carefully thought out general information, you can follow five real Danes through the experience. This brings out clearly how each Dane had to make a choice to behave somewhere on a spectrum between active collaboration - that some did is not hidden - and determined resistance. It told the Danes story well - no plot spoilers here on the individuals, go find out for yourself - but it was a reminder that there are many situations still today which force people into making difficult decisions. We arrived with only an hour before closing. I wish we had had twice the time.

Fantastic - must visit!

Fantastic museum. Very well laid out with fascinating exhibits, some interactive. Really informative. Took my 16 and 19 year old, we all really enjoyed it. Focussing on true stories of a few real life people really brought it to life. We spent 4 hours including a stop in the cafe. A few reviews mention claustrophobia. I suffer from this but the museum did not feel hemmed in at all and we could read all of the information clearly. The best thing we did in Copenhagen - cannot recommend this highly enough. Tak to all who worked hard to create this important memorial.

This museum is full of excellent displays of artifacts. As you walk through, it is more or less in chronological order as to when events of the war occurred. The stories of five resistance members are told in a thoughtful, detailed manner. I learned a lot about the entire organization by visiting.

Strange museum

This museum is located 2 floors underground.The museum is rather like a circular concrete bunker,so you keep on going round. The museum has plenty on collaboration with the Nazis.

Definitely Recommend going here

This isn't a large museum, but there is a lot of interesting information in it. They give you and audio headset and you go around and listen to stories while seeing some of the artifacts. I definitely learned a lot there. I went through it pretty thoroughly in about 2.5 hours. It is fairly close to the Little Mermaid.

Absolutely superb

Absolutely superb. Brings the Danish experience of WW2 very much alive. I found it fascinating, balanced, moving and humbling. Fantastic. The cafe serves gorgeous sandwiches too.

Fantastic

I thought the Musuem of Danish Resistance was fantastic. I learnt so much about the role of Denmark in WWII, and how the Danish government navigated Nazi occupation. I thought the museum gave a brilliant insight into what life was like in Denmark between 1939-1945. A must visit.

Good museum well worth a visit

Very interactive and historically accurate telling how WWII impacted Denmark. Interesting perspectives and learned via a clever audio and visual display as you walk along. Good artifacts and thoughtful demos. You cede the leaflets they sent around the morning the occupation began. You can also take a turn at code breaking and wire tapping, which breaks up the standing and listening. Treats hard subjects well. We would have taken our kids here when they were teens.

A brilliant museum, well worth a visit

I only had about an hour to visit this museum and wished I'd had more time. It's a fascinating museum, really well laid out and very friendly staff. Good for many age groups. I didn't have to wait at all and entered with my Copenhagen Card.

A good lesson in history

This is an excellent museum, especially for English speakers. The vast majority of the written descriptions are in Danish and English. Even better, there is an audio guide included in the entry fee. It is an emotionally engaging experience. There was no wait, and we did not buy tickets in advance.

Well Done!

This museum takes a deep dive into the lives of five people who showed their courage of resistance in different ways. They have an audio guide in both English and Danish. This could be updated with headphones or earpieces so that you don’t have to hold the device. The exhibits are well done giving you a sense of their lives through stories and artifacts.

Great Museum on an Interesting Period of History

This is a great museum covering a very delicate subject - the occupation of Denmark in World War 2. The exhibition was delivered in an interesting and sensitive way and tried to cover all angles. We also found the staff very helpful and spoke excellent English and seemed to be passionate about this period in their history.

Don't miss out on this amazing museum

We stumbled across this hidden gem. Fascinating museum, great story telling, really bringing history to life. Clever and thought provoking. Clever use of technology and interactive enough to keep my 12 and 9 year old interested. Food in the cafe was too posh for us and didn't really get eaten. Was bright and clean. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience

This has to be one of the best war museums in Europe. Fantastic engaging exhibiton design covering real stories from the Second World War. Will definitely visit again.

Superb exhibition!

Exceptional museum with a balance of visual, audio and interactive. We learned so much and couldn’t fault any aspect of our time there. Staff were all so knowledgable and friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate it all. We also went upstairs and had a decent cup of tea!

Absolutely fascinating exhibition

Brilliantly presented with video, audio, exhibits the experiences of these brave people is expertly explained. The quality was tremendous, staff helpful and enthusiastic. We enjoyed every minute.

Senza fiato, uno dei migliori musei!

Senza fiato. Un museo che ha superato le mie aspettative. Forse uno dei più belli e ben fatti mai visti. Da fuori sembra molto piccolo, ma in realtà é perché si svolge tutto sottoterra. Il piano -1 é dedicato ai bagni e a zona per appendere i soprabiti. Il piano -2 é tutto dedicato agli anni della guerra e alla resistenza danese. Si ha una specie di audioguida in inglese e durante il percorso ci sono moltissimi punti in cui poter ascoltare e vedere filmati/proiezioni che spiegano la vita di tutti i giorni in quel periodo. Pieno di artefatti e angoli che ricreano ambienti dove si svolgono le varie scene di cui si parla nell'aufioguida e nei video proiettati. Lo consiglio a tutti! Almeno una volta nella vita.

Highly Recommend this Museum

We are so glad we saw this museum. My husband, adult daughter, and I were very moved by the activities of many Danish citizens when the Nazis had a stranglehold on this nation. The exhibits do an excellent job of focusing on the individual efforts of many brave people. In a world where "leaders" become "dictators", it is heartening to see the unquenchable spirit of resistance.

Interesting stories and approach!

Memorable museum with special testimonials from different real Danes that worked in the underground. Great staff and facility. It took a while for me to figure out how to activate the hand held audio players. Not very busy on a rainy weekday afternoon, so this was great!

Flot opbygget og gengav noget mørke år på en god måde

Overraskende spændende museum- det var godt bygget op, hvor årene fra 1940 og frem til 1945 var linien. Der var mange effekter fra den gang, det var ret vildt. Med tanke på alt det der sker i dag bør man tage på muset og lære af fortiden og huske hvor grusomt det var. Virkeligt anbefaleses værdigt

Fascinating and well laid out

Would highly recommend this museum, it’s close to the Little mermaid statue so you may as well whilst you’re in the area. It tells the stories of 5 people who had various parts to play in the resistance. There is a free audio guide that takes you through their journeys and provide information about the different scenes. You can crack code and be an intelligence officer, I thought this was really fun and gave you an idea of what different things people did to resist the Nazis. Very interesting and very well thought out. If you’re interested in WW2 it’s a must. Coffee shop was really nice too.

Interesting museum

Great museum which comes with an audio guide. The tour follows five people during the occupation as well as providing general information about life in Demark during this period. The museum is very profound and well worth a visit.

Such an insightful museum (and a hidden gem)

Thoroughly enjoyed the museum - very modern building and well spaced and informative (the listening guide is a must). Spent about an hour here and not many tourists around (for a Saturday). Really worth a visit.

Interesting activity for a couple of hours.

When we first walked up to the museum, we thought the tour would take 10 minutes tops! The museum itself is underground which was unique. The content of the museum were very interesting and in depth. There were also several ways to engage with the museum: plaques to read, audio tapes, games to play including a typewriter. As you went around, you were involved in the life stories of several different people and how their lives were affected by the War. The museum gave a big insight into some history not necessarily included in the British history books, which we both found insightful and interesting to learn about. In total, the museum took around two hours to go around including the free audio service. The toilets were clean and the staff were friendly.
