Occupation Museum, History museum in central Aarhus, Denmark
The Occupation Museum presents exhibits, photographs, uniforms, weapons, and documents related to the German occupation of Aarhus from 1940 to 1945.
The building served as Gestapo headquarters in 1944 and 1945, where interrogations took place before becoming a museum dedicated to wartime experiences.
The exhibits reflect Danish nationalism and resistance through personal narratives, original objects, and documentation of sabotage operations against German forces.
Museum admission includes access to all exhibitions, with free entry for visitors under 18 and guided tours by volunteer staff members.
The museum basement contains preserved cells and interrogation rooms where resistance members were held during the German occupation period.
