Natural History Museum of Denmark

關於

The Natural History Museum of Denmark (Danish: Statens Naturhistoriske Museum) is a natural history museum located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen.

The museum became an organizational entity in 2004 with the merger of Copenhagen's Zoological Museum, Geological Museum, Botanical Museum and Central Library, and Botanical Gardens (Zoological Museum, Geological Museum, Botanical Museum and Botanical Garden). The collections of the Natural History Museum Denmark belong to the Danish state and the museum has the responsibility, under the Museum Act, for managing the collections and associated research and dissemination.

The Natural History Museum Denmark has exhibitions at its main address on Øster Voldgade 5-7. In addition, the museum holds lectures, guided tours and events that focus on the collections, the Botanical Garden and the researchers' current research. The museum has a school service that offers teaching to students.

As planned, the museum will open a new building in 2026 in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen. The new museum building is designed by Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects and architect Claus Pryds. The economy behind the project is based on a collaboration between the University of Copenhagen, the state and a number of private foundations; Villum Fonden, Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond, Novo Nordisk Fonden, Det Obelske Familie and A. P. Møller og Hustru Chastine Mc-Kinney Møllers Fond til almene Formaal.[4]
