Bakkekammen 45 - Better building practice in 1929
Bakkekamen 45, 4300 Holbæk
Tour description:
Come inside Denmark's only interior museum for Better Building Practices. Architect Marius Pedersen (1888-1965) designed this unique and listed property in 1929 – and lived and worked here until his death in 1965. The widow Emma Pedersen lived in the house until 2007. A large donation from the Nordea Foundation made it possible for Holbæk Museum to set up Denmark's first museum and knowledge center for Better Building Practices here.
The guided tour goes through the untouched rooms of the private home, furnished in 1929, and tells about the architect's life, vision and work. In the basement there is a small exhibition with pictures and film screenings. The tour ends in the impressive garden, where the fruit trees from 1912, the utility garden and the flowers tell their own story.
Can be advantageously combined with:
a) Holbæk Museum on their own.
b) City walk in Holbæk with specially selected focus areas such as the medieval town of Holbæk or the exciting historic buildings in Holbæk
c) Visit Holbæk Harbor and the exhibition: The man, the vessel and the fjord in the Coastal Life Center
