About the Danish Jewish Museum
The Danish Jewish Museum is a state-recognized cultural history museum that contains the story of 400 years of Danish Jewish history.
The museum gives you a new perspective on Danish history. It tells stories of integration, assimilation, conflicts and inclusiveness. It is all conveyed in a beautiful and challenging architecture designed by the world-famous architect Daniel Libeskind.
A special focus is the story of the escape of Danish Jews from Nazi persecution in October 1943. A story that is unfolded in the architecture of the museum's exhibition. All this is housed in Christian IV's 400-year-old Galejhus, which today is next door to the Royal Library. If you want to know more about the museum's history, you can read along here.
