Copenhagen Danish Resistance Museum Tickets

Discover the Danish Resistance Museum in Copenhagen with these tickets. Go underground to explore this space, located in the heart of the Danish capital , and learn about the history of the Danish resistance during the German occupation of Denmark from 1940 to 1945. Get your bearings with the audio guide you can get from the start.

Immerse yourself in the experiences of the people who lived under occupation and discover what life was like during World War II in Denmark. There will be different interactive scenes in the museum that recreate the dark and gloomy streets of the occupation period.

A large part of the new museum is underground, allowing visitors to literally travel underground to occupied Denmark.

You will meet at least five historical figures, each of whom chose a side. You will be able to see what consequences they will have to face by narrating the history of that time.

You will have the opportunity to see acts of sabotage, how illegal newspapers were produced, decipher codes and intercept phone calls. In short, you will discover how the Danes had to choose between joining the resistance, collaborating with the Germans or trying to get on with their daily lives.

The museum first opened its doors on 15 October 1957 and was a gift from the resistance movement to the Danish state. After the museum burned down in an arson attack in 2013, the decision was taken to build a completely new, more contemporary museum on the same site in Churchhill Park, next to the Citadel (Kastellet).

All of the irreplaceable artefacts from the occupation period survived the fire and are now on display in the museum.
