Welcome to ENIGMA, Denmark’s vibrant hub for communication and media. Born from the old Post & Tele Museum, it now thrives in a historic post office in Østerbro. ENIGMA is a treasure trove of Denmark’s communication history, housing the largest stamp collection and a significant specialist library. It’s a place where past, present, and future converge, offering a journey from the postal service’s inception in 1624 to today’s digital realities. The museum houses four different exhibition and activity areas, which together depict the Danish communication and media history from the establishment of the postal service in 1624, over mass communication in sound and images, to our time’s digital realities. Past, present, and future under the same roof. The name ENIGMA, a Greek word meaning riddle, reflects our mission to help decipher the riddles of everyday communication. We even house the world’s oldest ENIGMA machine, a code device from World War II. Our 2024 exhibition, “Hello human - do you trust me?” invites you to explore the potentials and pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Would you trust a machine to write your love letter or talk to your doctor? Join us at ENIGMA, and you’ll leave with new insights and knowledge. The exhibition guides you through what artificial intelligence is and can be used for. You get the opportunity to participate actively and critically take a position on the potentials and dangers that arise in the use of artificial intelligence.

Laugh and get wiser! At STORM you are given an entertaining insight into the importance of Danish humour and satire –historically and today.  We offer humorous and entertaining stories from our much loved cultural heritage. From artists of the past like Storm P., Liva Weel and Dirch Passer to present day artists like Roald Als, Casper Christensen and Lisbeth Dahl.  Humorous and satirical art gives not only an entertaining perspective on Denmark’s history from the Constitution Act of 1849 to today, but also a picture of humour and satire as a core element in the Danish national character. Whether they are unfolded on a stage, on paper, on a screen or among us in daily life, humour and satire occupy a central place in the danish self-understanding. Humour can be a quiet chuckle at seeing one’s own fallibility reflected and caricatured on a stage or in a cartoon, or it can dent the image of the powers that be. Humour can puncture pomposity and be a vent that makes the difficult easier to deal with. Humour and satire can get us to laugh together and question rigidly established norms and ideas.    Special Exhibitions (frederiksbergmuseerne.dk): The censored exhibition on censorship, 18.11.23-20.04.25 Satire is one of the most censored art forms. Throughout centuries, churches and states have criminalized and condemned satire, and even today, various actors attempt to stifle satire. This could be terrorists threatening satirists or social media platforms that exclude them. It is often said that censorship makes satire less daring and lively, as many are likely to hold back if they risk losing their job, freedom or even their life. However, The Censored Exhibition on Censorship shows that censorship has not only intimidated but also inspired satirists. It has led them to invent new symbols and new ways to circumvent and ridicule censorship. The exhibition showcases works that have come into existence solely because there have been – and still are – actors trying to silence satirists. It provides a rare insight into how satirists have viewed censorship as a creative challenge rather than a straitjacket since the beginning of the 19th century.

What did the very first cars look like? How about the history of the telephone - from the first of its kind to the smartphones we all know today? And what does a space capsule look like? Come and learn more about the fantastic and breakthrough technical inventions and the people behind them. The museum has an impressive collection of steam engines, electrical inventions, bicycles, cars and aeroplanes. There is also a pewter workshop from the 1920s and fire and life-saving station from around 1960. The Danish Museum of Science and Technology invites you on a journey where bridges will be built between you and Denmark’s technological history. Our unique collection of cars represents the Danish history of motor vehicles. For instance, you can experience the Hammel Car from 1888, the first automobile of the Royal Danish Family and a Volkswagen Beetle from 1948. The museum also houses a large collection of planes. There are old propeller planes, helicopters, gliders, private aircrafts, passenger planes and many former planes of Defence Command Denmark. The Danish Museum of Science and Technology is for the whole family. From the first exciting fascination of machines to the critical contemporary views of everyday technology to the nerdy insight into mechanics and function. At the museum, the objects form the basis of the stories and we will look at the first technical inventions, today’s technology and what the future may bring. The Danish Museum of Science & Technology is more than 100 years old and some of the museum objects are even older – from extremely heavy and big computers the size of an elephant to small, pocket-sized smartphones. The world of technology is constantly developing, and we can only try and guess how the future robotic vacuum cleaners, virtual reality and cars will look like.  

At the Circus Museum in Hvidovre, just outside Copenhagen, the whole family can step into the arena themselves at Circus Fun. Circus Fun takes place every Sunday at 10.30-12. Under the expert guidance of a circus artist, children and adults of all ages can try everything from juggling to trapeze. Circus Fun takes place in Fægtesalen, a large hall behind the museum, that is set up for all kinds of circus activities. In the museum's colorful exhibition, you can learn about the circus and watch funny films starring the ventriloquist Peter Nørgaard and his cheeky dog. Beautiful glittering costumes, remarkable props and old posters are also on display. The children can take a task around the exhibition and get a prize in the ticket sales when they have finished. It is also possible to try on circus costumes, walk on a tight wire and take a swing in the trapeze and have fun in the museum's playroom. The museum is open Sunday-Thursday at 10-15. If you like to practice juggling, the museum has a playroom with various juggling props, costumes and cozy circus books. On Sundays, you can also have fun at the Creative Workshop, located on the museum's 2nd floor. Here you can let your imagination run wild and, for example, make a funny clown hat or circus collage. You are also welcome to enjoy your packed lunch at he 2nd floor and possibly supplement with coffee, toast, ice cream and various snacks from the museum shop. In the shop you can also buy a wide and colorful selection of circus props, posters and souvenirs. The Circus Museum's collection is Northern Europe's largest of its kind. It consists of over 110,000 different effects, including many thousands of pictures and posters, costumes and props, personal notebooks, circus programs and newspaper clippings. The vast majority of the objects are preserved in archives and originate from the artist Ølund Barly's large circus and artist collection. It is Barly’s collection that formed the basis for the creation of the Circus Museum in Hvidovre. Circus Fun and the Creative Workshop also take place during the school holidays (except from Christmas, where the museum is closed). In week 7 and 42 there are, besides Circus Fun and Creative Workshop, shows with various artists in Fægtesalen. Visit The Circus Museum's website for more info.
