Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry

The Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry was an institution in Hørsholm displaying objects from different periods to document how hunting equipment and forestry tools evolved across Denmark. The exhibits illustrated how these activities changed over time.

The institution was founded in 1907 and operated in Hørsholm for more than a century before merging in 2017. This merger with another museum created a new combined venue in a different location.

The collections reveal how hunting traditions and forest management shaped the way people interact with the Danish landscape. These practices remain visible in how the land is used and valued by communities today.

The museum was located in an accessible area in the town and offered visits with a focus on practical aspects of hunting and forestry management. Before visiting, check current opening hours since the collection has been relocated to another place.

The museum was linked to information about the Par Force hunting landscape in North Zealand, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015. This historical landscape features riding paths and forest structures that were specifically designed for royal hunting traditions.
