Experience West Jutland’s History at Ringkøbing Museum

At Ringkøbing Museum you can get an exciting insight into West Jutland's past, explore how the Second World War left its mark on the west coast, and hear exciting stories about the bunkers and the Allied planes that crashed around Ringkøbing Fjord. In a special exhibition on the museum's 1st floor, you can experience world-famous furniture design by Finn Juhl.

West Jutland During World War II

When World War II reached Denmark on April 9, 1940, it not only changed the nation but also transformed the landscape. Along the west coast of Jutland, the Atlantic Wall began to take shape, with numerous bunkers being built. After the war, many of these bunkers were emptied and abandoned, but not all. In 2008, a storm uncovered a forgotten bunker, which had never been cleared out. Its contents revealed stories of the war and the people who once lived there.

At Ringkøbing Museum, you can step into a reconstruction of this very bunker and hear the story of Gerhard Saalfeld, who celebrated his 18th birthday at Houvig Stellung, northwest of Ringkøbing. The museum also offers insights into the many British bombers that made Danish airspace dangerous as they headed towards Germany.

Changing Exhibitions

At Ringkøbing Museum, exhibitions can range from ancient times to the present day, but the common denominator for them all is West Jutland. In April 2024, a new exhibition opened about Finn Juhl, whose world-famous furniture is produced by the Ringkøbing company OneCollection. The exhibition features a wide selection ofFinn Juhl's iconic furniture - from the earliest productions to the latest fromOneCollection, which you can both touch and sit in. In the fine, old premises you will also find a cozy and well-stocked museum shop.
