New Museum Building

One of the largest museum construction projects in recent Danish history is nearing completion. In a few years, the new building of the Natural History Museum Denmark in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen will open to the public, bringing together the natural history of Denmark in one place for the first time ever.

All of the museum's research areas will be represented in the new museum building, where visitors will experience geology, biology, zoology, and climate history as a unified narrative focusing on humanity's place in nature. Here, visitors will be invited on a journey through the animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms, opening a door to the exploration of the world around us.

The museum's vision is to strengthen the connection between people and nature. We aim to inspire, engage, and provide everyone with the opportunity to enjoy, understand, and care for the diversity of nature, whether through citizen-driven research like Citizen Science projects, active nature conservation, or simply sparking a curious awareness during a walk in the woods.
