Knowledge and collection
Behind Vardemuseerne’s exhibitions and museum experiences lies extensive work to collect, preserve, document, and research our shared cultural heritage.
All of our shared history
Vardemuseerne holds a collection of more than 80,000 objects. The collection has been built through purchases, donations, and museum mergers since the museum was founded in 1912.
It is a cornucopia of a collection, and we proudly maintain that there is an object or source in Vardemuseerne’s collection for every story one could possibly imagine!
The staff are therefore busy making the collection available to colleagues for exhibitions and research, as well as to external researchers and partners. The collection is active and living, and it continually contributes new knowledge and perspectives within otherwise familiar fields and periods.
