Roskilde Museum, Cultural history and archaeological museum in Roskilde, Denmark.
The museum spans two historical buildings: Sukkerhuset, a former sugar production facility from 1761, and Liebes Gård, constructed around 1800 by merchant Jacob Borch.
Founded in 1929, Roskilde Museum preserves artifacts from prehistoric times through modern days, including medieval silver coins, chess pieces, and weapons found during local excavations.
The exhibitions present a comprehensive view of Danish life through centuries, featuring the complete skeleton of a prehistoric auroch and the tomb of Gerdrup.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with adult admission at 60 DKK and free entry for visitors under 18 years old.
The former sugar production building, Sukkerhuset, served as the city fire station from 1925 to 1984 before becoming part of the museum complex.
