Opening hours
The War Museum offers you a vivid insight into Denmark’s military history and the wars the country has fought and – for the most part – lost. The museum focuses on how these conflicts have shaped Denmark’s past and present – both geographically and culturally.
You can also explore the models of historical warships from the Danish Navy and take a closer look at the treasury trove of artefacts from around the world, including a real tank.
The new exhibition “Warrior” highlights the individuals who go into battle. In war, we are allowed to kill, but what does that do to us? What would it do to you? The exhibition looks at similarities and differences through time – from a Japanese samurai to a modern Danish soldier.
The War Museum is located in Christian IV’s historic Tøjhus on Slotsholmen in the heart of Copenhagen.
