The House of Eternity

"The House of Eternity" is a dissemination project about the 10 Jewish burial grounds in Denmark outside Copenhagen.

Based on the 200th anniversary of the Jewish cemeteries in Odense and Assens in 2025, we will, in collaboration with Historiens Hus, Odense and Museum Vestfyn, develop a pop-up exhibition that over the next three years will place the cemeteries outside Copenhagen in a local and national context in collaboration with a number of good partners, such as local museums, archives and libraries.

The burial grounds are important Danish and Jewish cultural heritage monuments. They are the preserved testimonies of Jewish life throughout Denmark and contain countless personal destinies and stories that can shed light on this.

Next stop

The next stop is Faaborg in the fall of 2026. Sign up for our newsletter to find out when the exhibition moves to a new city.
