Occupation Museum

The Occupation Museum tells the story of Aarhus during the German occupation of Denmark. Its setting gives the exhibits extra force: the building was the old town hall, and the Gestapo used it during the war.

The museum is small, but it adds a sharp local chapter to the city's larger history. It is worth pairing with a walk through the old centre rather than treating it as a full half-day museum.
