Danish War Museum
Take a walk through Danish war history from the 1500s until today; from samurai swords to World War II and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Get up close to the everyday lives of soldiers and the nature of war.
Touch a real Leopard tank, see Tordenskjold's impressive sword, and dive into dramatic and deadly stories from the wars against Sweden, Germany, and England.
At the War Museum, you can explore 500 years of Danish war history, from knights in shining armor to drones and dusty rifles in Afghanistan.
