Museum Silkeborg

Museum Silkeborg operates across three locations: the Manor House, Paper Mill Museum, and Blicheregnen farm, each presenting different aspects of Danish history.

The institution began in 1904 when local citizens established a museum in Silkeborg Manor House, a building constructed between 1767 and 1770.

The Paper Mill Museum section demonstrates traditional paper-making methods, allowing visitors to observe the techniques used for producing Danish currency until 1992.

Museum Silkeborg provides educational programs for schools, offering specialized activities about Danish history and culture for different grade levels.

The museum houses the Tollund Man, a naturally preserved body from the Pre-Roman Iron Age discovered in a peat bog near Silkeborg.
