I liked the chronological manner to illustrate the Danish resistance and and some very emotional letters shown here. It is a long and sad history summarized on few square meters which allows you to learn a little bit more on Danmark and Danes More

I am a Military history buff and Denmark is a country that typically slips under the radar when reading about WW2. This museum reminds us that there was quite a lot happening in Denmark during Nazi occupation. What I found poignant were the `last letters', written by members of the Danish resistance, before being shot. It is a small and... More

This small Museum is located between the walk around the Little Mermaid and the Amalienborg Palace areas and is well worth a visit of 30-60 minutes. You can tell it by the historic armoured car out the front - a modified truck used by the resistance members against the invaders of the 2nd World War. This war caused some division... More

I happened to actually run over the museum of the Danish Resistance and was glad to visit it. There is no entrance fee and you can make your way through it, watching the very interesting exhibits and informative signs placed next to each item, offering you a largely unknown piece of history. The only think missing (and would be very... More

The wind outside was bitterly cold, so I wandered in here for some respite. What an interesting and informative little museum. I was fascinated by the story of Danish resistance and civil disobedience. More
