Over
Beleef het Deense verzet
Het Deense Verzetsmuseum vertelt het verhaal van de mannen en vrouwen die zich tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog tegen de nazi's hebben verzet. In het museum, dat grotendeels ondergronds is, neem je een kijkje in de bezettingsjaren in Denemarken. Door middel van verschillende tentoonstellingen zie je hoe de bezetting de Deense bevolking heeft beïnvloed en hoe de verzetsbeweging op gang kwam.
In het museum kun je zelf deel uitmaken van het Deense verzet. Een grote digitale kaart laat zien waar enkele van de belangrijkste sabotagedaden door het verzet zijn gepleegd. En je kunt zelf proberen illegale tijdschriften te drukken, telefoongesprekken af te luisteren en de geheime Enigma-code van de Duitsers te decoderen.
Leer over het leven van 5 historische mensen
Terugkijkend lijkt het misschien een makkelijke en duidelijke beslissing om bij het verzet te gaan, maar in die tijd waren de dingen niet zo zwart-wit. Verzetsactiviteiten waren aanvankelijk voorbehouden aan een zeer klein aantal mensen. Door de verhalen van vijf verschillende Denen te volgen, leer je over de vele moeilijke dilemma's en keuzes die mensen moesten maken.
In het Deense Verzetsmuseum ontmoet je Musse Hartig, Jørgen Kieler, Thorkild Lund-Jensen, Karl Christensen en Henning Brøndum. Vier van de vijf gingen bij het verzet, terwijl Henning Brøndum een nazi werd en zich aansloot bij de Peter Groep. Voor Musse Hartig was het moeilijk om haar communistische overtuigingen, moederschap en haar werk voor het verzet te combineren.
Ondertussen dwong het verzetswerk van student Thorkild Lund-Jensen hem om onder te duiken. Karl Christensen blies Duitsgezinde fabrieken op. En Jørgen Kieler's betrokkenheid bij het gewapende verzet had uiteindelijk nare gevolgen voor hem.

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.
Very worthwhile museum!
The Museum of Danish Resistance is very well done! Being underground sets the mood and a great audio guide and photos traced the lives of 5 different people from 1940 - 1945. We saw the type of boat that thousands of Jews were rescued in to Sweden. There is a great little cafe at the Museum also.
Absolutely brilliant!
This attraction really deserves the 5 Star allocation. It is enthralling, informative and eye opening in many respects and is superbly well thought out as seen from the eyes of 5 Danes living under German occupation as well as general background to events with films and displays. All done without being overpowering and it is definitely recommended to take the scanner and make use of the various listening posts (best to wait until the mini story is at the beginning of the "tape" before starting - a small hour glass under the screen shows progress of the story). My visit was with a partner who is not especially interested in WW 11 but they walked out saying it was one of the best 2 hour museum visits in a long time!
This is a must visit!
Visited here on our 16 day tour of Denmark with family and friends. I had been wanting to visit this museum for many years but it had never fit our travel schedule. A very emotional place following the lives of actual people. The only negative was the equipment which seemed to malfunction for many visitors and the fact that one might begin the next segment midway thru the narrative. The noise from a school trip did frequently interrupt our concentration.
Absolutely worth a visit.
Having visited many war museums it was interesting to compare and contrast this with those. This museum is very well laid out with thought provoking displays that are easy to digest and follow. It is interesting to learn why and how Denmark chose to join Germany in the war and then learn how the country changed its views as the war progressed. A clever idea in this museum is the focus on four individuals whose lives you follow through each year of the war. There is a very useful audio guide given to you at the start that you aim at and press next to each of the exhibits. Whilst the guide is a god idea, we discovered that the commentary starts from the point it is running at when you reach the exhibit so it is wise to wait till it restarts.
En spændende udstilling
Jeg har længe ville derind, men har først taget mig sammen nu. Jeg har gode minder og oplevelser fra det gamle museum. Jeg syntes det er godt bygget op at man går kronologisk igennem. Syntes der bør udleveres høretelefoner til audioguides, da man let bliver forstyrret af andres audio guides. Det er spændene udstilling og brugte da næsten 3 timer på at læse og lytte. Det er flot bygget op. Jeg syntes det er fint med de fire personer man overordnet følger igennem museet, jeg savner dog en bredere viden og flere artefakter som jeg kan erindre var på det gamle museum. Det lægger dog op til at i kan skifte ud løbende, som jeg syntes kunne være en fed mulighed for at få ny oplevelse af museet. Besøgte cafeen efterfølgende og fik flæskestegs sanwich og æbletærte, det kan klart anbefales
Thoughtful and engaging museum
Stumbled upon this museum by accident and decided to go in as knew very little about Denmark’s experience of WWII. Well worth the 2hrs we spent there, very thoughtfully put together museum with a nice mixture of audio guide and exhibits. Really liked being able to follow the stories of different people & their experiences throughout the war.
Interesting history lesson
Carefully crafted experience with an audio guide that tells the story from 5 different perspectives. A nice change of pace from traditional museums- it was more guided and engaging. Nice venue as well, with lockers, clean toilets and nice cafe.
Moving experience
Recommended, very interesting, well set out, and very moving. Interactive and multimedia. Also good for older children.
Hidden gem
Came across this place by accident, but glad we did. Been to similar themed museums all over Europe. What I like about this museum is they way it's not so black and white or good guy/ bad oriented. No sugar coating. The way the museum tells stories from five different sides, is really thought provoking and interesting. The artifacts are amazing. I also think the museum did really well getting all ages engaged. Even my teenage son found it enjoyable with the interactive elements of the museum and audio sets, as did another family that has no interest in war or history. The staff are wonderful, place wasn't crowded and we were so engaged that we didn't realise we had been in for near 2 hours. Definitely recommend it.
Interesting museum
The museum presents and explains the occupation of Denmark during World War II through artefacts, multimedia, and interactive installations (one highlight being the code cracking activity). Entry is included with the Copenhagen Card. Would recommend if you’re into history. The Little Mermaid and Kastellet are also a short walk from the museum.
Fascinating multi media experience
Excellent interactive multi media museum. Fascinating look into the occupation, the Danish resistance and Danish Jewish communities. Need a good three hours to make the most of the instalments.
A very impressive little museum with a comprehensive range of artifacts and memorabilia.
A very impressive little museum with a comprehensive range of artifacts and memorabilia. The museum is entirely underground and takes you through the history of Danish resistance to the Nazi invasion and occupation from its onset to liberation. The multimedia guide gives little stories as you go through but I found this distracting so didn't bother much, plus the only way to listen was via the speaker on the hand-held device which would have annoyed other people. Headphones would be much better. The really interesting part of the museum is the collection of items from the period in question. They have rifles, damaged clothing, propaganda posters, food coupons, all sorts. They even have (in a rather frank Scandinavian way) a couple of clubs used to beat prisoners as well as three of the posts to which Danish Resistance fighters were tied before being executed. The staff told me that the old museum building was destroyed by arson (for which no culprit was found) but nothing was lost, luckily. A large amount of other items are also held by the museum but lack space for them to be displayed - don't be put off by the reports of the fire, there is still plenty to see.
An interesting look into Denmark's role in WWII
Denmark's role in WWII is little known and understood. This museum tries to tell the story with a particular emphasis on five characters including a Nazi collaborator and several resistance fighters. It is interactive with a substantial number of exhibits. Interestingly, the museum tries to play up Denmark's role in helping the Allied cause but in reality they worked closely with the Germans from the time they were invaded in 1940 (no opposition was given) and it was only when it became clear that Germany was going to lose the war that resistance efforts, mainly through sabotage, began to take shape. If you have a Copenhagen Card admission is free.
Bigger on the inside
Ignore the bland exterior, this museum tells the story of the German occupation of Denmark from 1940 to 1945 through the eyes of actual participants. The audio guides tell their story very well. Unusually, the Danes were left with a government and armed forces after the Nazis arrived. The tales of both those who resisted is told as well as collaborators.
Very powerful
We expected to stay for about 90 minutes, but ended up leaving after 3 hours. Very moving experience which I highly recommend. We appreciated that the curators presented multiple perspectives on the Nazi occupation and Danish citizens' WWII experience. Too often, from a distance of years, it is easy to think that a populace all worked in tandem and spoke with one voice. Of course, that can never be the case in a free society. The exhibits allow the viewer to feel the uncertainty of the unprecedented times from five personal world-views. These include perspectives such as that of a Communist, a young Danish student, patriot supporters of resistance, and a Danish Nazi. With an audio guide, you can hear the thoughts of the different characters, read additional commentary, view background film clips, and see artifacts. With hind sight and a distance of 80 some years, it is too easy to lose the sense of the unknown future, the unpredictability of different courses of action, and the possibility of unintended consequences facing decision-makers and citizens. The museum helped me see the dilemma and appreciate the responses to invasion much more clearly.
A very interesting perspective on the war through the eyes of the Danish resistance and Danes that joined the Nazi party
A very thorough review of the war as viewed from the perspective of both Danish resistance and Danes that joined the Nazi movement. It was very interesting to the perspective of a country trying to find a “soft landing “ when being ruled by a dictator and the subsequent rise of the population in opposition. We’ll worth a visit. We spent about 2 hours there.
Excellent museum experience
Highly recommended. Excellent museum experience – tells a great story in a creative, inventive, engaging way, with a variety of media and hands-on experiences. My kids (10 and 13), who generally don't like museums, loved it, and we spent a couple of hours here.
Frihedsmuseet i København: En Hyldest til Heltemod og Modstand mod Nazibesættelsen
I dag havde jeg fornøjelsen af at besøge Frihedsmuseet i København, et bemærkelsesværdigt museum dedikeret til Danmarks modstandskamp under Anden Verdenskrig og landets kamp for frihed og demokrati. Museet er beliggende i den smukke bygning Børsen i centrum af København og er en vigtig historisk institution i Danmark. Museet byder besøgende velkommen med en omfattende samling af genstande, fotografier, dokumenter og audiovisuelle materialer, der fortæller historien om den danske modstand mod nazibesættelsen i perioden 1940-1945. Udstillingerne er omhyggeligt kurateret og formidler den utrolige modstandskamp og de mennesker, der kæmpede for at opretholde frihed og værdighed under vanskelige omstændigheder. En af hovedudstillingerne er dedikeret til historien om sabotagen og modstandsgrupperne, der opererede i Danmark under besættelsen. Besøgende kan lære om sabotageaktioner, illegale blade, sabotage af jernbaner og industrielle anlæg samt redningsaktioner af danske jøder. Denne del af udstillingen illustrerer det mod og den beslutsomhed, der prægede modstandsbevægelsen og deres bidrag til den samlede krigsindsats. En anden imponerende del af museet er dedikeret til historien om de danske jøders redning under besættelsen. Her kan besøgende lære om den danske befolknings bemærkelsesværdige indsats for at hjælpe jøderne med at undslippe forfølgelse og deportation til koncentrationslejre. Udstillingen fremhæver historierne om modige danske familier, der risikerede deres eget liv for at skjule og beskytte jøder, samt om den bemærkelsesværdige indsats for at evakuere jøderne til Sverige. Men udstillingen viser også at alt ikke var perfekt fx at fiskerne tog absurde mængde penge for redninger. Frihedsmuseet giver også mulighed for at udforske de personlige historier fra modstandsbevægelsen gennem interviews, lydoptagelser og fotografier. Disse beretninger giver et indblik i den daglige kamp, modstandskæmpernes liv og de ofre, de var villige til at bringe for at opnå frihed for Danmark. Som besøgende kunne man virkelig mærke historiens vingesus og betydningen af den danske modstandskamp. Museet formåede at formidle en dybtfølt respekt for de mennesker, der kæmpede for frihed og demokrati i Danmark under besættelsen. Det var både en lærerig og følelsesmæssig oplevelse at besøge Frihedsmuseet. Alt i alt er Frihedsmuseet et enestående sted, der ærer den danske modstandsbevægelses historie og minder os om vigtigheden af at værne om vores frihed og demokratiske værdier. Det er et must-see for enhver, der er interesseret i Danmarks historie og ønsker at forstå betydningen af modstand og solidaritet i kampen for frihed.
Väl värt ett besök.
Välgjort museum som visar kriget från en annan vinkel. Utställningen är b la uppbyggd på fem personer, fyra män och en kvinna. Många detaljer om männen men tyvärr väldigt schematisk när det gäller kvinnan, Musse Hartig, som mest framställs som en nervös mor. Detta drar ner betyget på ett annars mycket fint museum.

Flot og godt formidlet
Rigtig flot og spændende udstilling. Godt formidlet til både voksne og børn (11 år). Gratis gaderobe. Cafeen manglede noget til de veggie spisende.
Fremragende historieformidling
Frihedsmuseet genopbygget efter brand. Nyopbygget under jorden. Fremragende moderne historieformidling med Scanner guide. Giver et godt indblik i besættelsesårene.
Bra
Är man intresserad av historia är detta klart värt ett besök, är man inte intresserad av historia så hoppa över frihetsmuseet. Mycket bra audioguide, använd den.
Historiens vingslag kan anas här
Egentligen var jag här 2008. Att läsa om hur det var i Danmark under ockupationen och hur människor hanterade situationen. En museal upplevelse som inte lämnar någon oberörd. Rekommenderas innerligt.
