Exhibitions
The Danish War Museum is a specialised, cultural history museum. Visiting our permanent and special exhibitions on themes like war, defence and arms technology, you can experience the entire span of the military history of Denmark from the 1500s to today.
Have Drones Changed the Way We Wage War?
What do drones mean for present and future wars? And how have they evolved over time? These questions and many more are addressed in our new special spotlight exhibition, “Gamechanger? Drones in War”.
