Slagelse Museum
Slagelse Museum
In the middle of Slagelse you will find Slagelse Museum – where you can explore a new, different exhibition about the secret resistance in West Zealand during World War II and see the spies' weapons and gadgets. Also see fascinating local archaeological gold finds and experience the historic, indoor craftsman's street, where you are transported 200 years back in time in a truly authentic setting.
You can shop in the old grocery store and buy coffee and cake in the café.
Behind the museum lies a lush garden. Here you will find a large obstacle course that all children and adults can try their hand at. Many plants and berries grow in the garden, and you are welcome to sit down and use the large campfire hut or have lunch.
Are you planning a trip to Trelleborg? Then let the story continue at Slagelse Museum – the museum is just 10 minutes from Trelleborg and offers lots of local history. We are right on the route for a day trip with great experiences.
You can experience that
Dive into the history of the resistance movement secret agents during World War II in the exhibition 'Shadow Warriors' . Experience a chapter of history you may not have known about – see how the Danish resistance fighters received help and training from the English. See the cynamide pill, incredible weapons and the agents' hidden gadgets.
NOTE – this exhibition is located on the first floor, and unfortunately there is no elevator.
Step into Håndværkergaden and travel back 200 years in time in the crooked street with cobblestones and close-knit houses. The street is indoors, but it feels like being in a small village. In the houses you can look inside the blacksmith, the bookbinder or the hatter. Or see where vegetables are sold in the market square.
You can also follow in Hans Christian Andersen's young footsteps and see a Latin school, like the one he went to when he lived in Slagelse.
In the old grocery store from the 1940s-1950s, you can get a glimpse into a time of scarcity, a subsistence economy, and rationing stamps.
