I visited during weekday and the staff oriented us on how we can maximize the museum visit. This a small but wonderful museum worth visiting especially if you are interested about the history. There are plenty of memorabilia about the history of Danish resistance. You will also provided an audio guide as you enter the museum. They have clean washrooms and coffee bar as well. Highly recommended

This fascinating museum offers a unique perspective into this turbulent part of Danish history. The museum takes you along the journeys of several Danes and their decisions and motives to resist or collaborate during the occupation of Denmark in World War 2. The exhibits also display unique objects for this period in history and the audio guide helps you comprehensively navigate the museum.

AMAZING museum that I highly recommend visiting. I love how the museum tells the story of the Danish resistance through perspectives and memoirs of people that lived through the war. It is really unique and interactive, with both an option to use a phone audio guide or their own audio guide. The layout tells the story extremely well and I learned a lot from this museum. I highly highly recommend spending about 1.5-2 hrs here!!

We stayed for almost three hours to learn all about the Danish resistance. It was a very emotional visit. In the end the fate of those brave people had me in tears. As a German I can only say sorry for what was done to you by my grandparents generation. There are many Germans who love Denmark, who go on vacation there each summer. Many of them go to Blåvand and take pictures in the front of the "horse bunkers". They love Denmark for it's hygge, the lovely people, the way this country simply 'feels' different. I think they should also visit this place. Because it gives you an idea about why the Danes are so different, what creates their strong community and love for their nation. And that hygge might be more then getting cozy and lighting a few candles. Maybe then they would value the things we have more, like freedom, like peace. And fight for them, BEFORE history repeats itself. Never again, and resist the beginnings!

This museum takes a deep dive into the lives of five people who showed their courage of resistance in different ways. They have an audio guide in both English and Danish. This could be updated with headphones or earpieces so that you don’t have to hold the device. The exhibits are well done giving you a sense of their lives through stories and artifacts.

Brilliant and inspiring. Following the stories of a handful of people resisting the Nazi occupation in World War 2, plus one collaborator, it follows the timeline through scenes in sets. The audio guide text also projects onto a close-by wall. Lots of memorabilia. Moving. Very worthwhile. The cafe food is excellent and the snacks are tasty and filling. The coffee is good.

The best museum in Copenhaga! We love it so much, the staff is very friendly and kind. The audit guide is such a great add-on, and the immersive experience is wonderful. The story line is so wonderful expressed, and there are several touch and play experiences.
