Danish Police Museum, Police museum in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Danish Police Museum occupies a former police station building and presents the history of law enforcement in Denmark across multiple floors. Exhibitions display investigation techniques, equipment used by officers, and information about notable cases handled by the force.
The collection started in 1904 in a basement of Copenhagen Court House. The building that houses it today was originally constructed in 1884 as a police station and opened as a museum location in the 1990s.
The museum shows how policing evolved in Denmark and what role law enforcement played in society over time. Visitors can observe how daily police work has changed and what challenges officers faced across different periods.
Entry is free and the museum opens on certain weekdays during regular hours. Group tours can be arranged in advance, so visitors should check available days and times before planning their visit.
The building originally served as both a workplace and home for about 64 officers, some living there permanently. This made it a community hub for the force until the station closed.
