This place is a total rip off!!

A whole floor practically empty and another floor with different stories of women with just pages (A4 size) hanging from the ceiling with all the information. The props used in this floor are bland and fail to enhance the experience. You can go through the whole "museum" in 20 min. tops.

It is a real shame that the concept of a museum about women gets ruined by such a poor and lazy attempt. There is a lot to say about the progress and struggles of women throughout the years and there is so much information our there, but this place just shows a glimpse of it and it is displayed in a way that it is not particularly friendly for the visitor, in some parts it almost appears that no thought was put into the design in terms of user experience.

For comparison, the Viking museum across the street is free and has more content, and the Dem Gamle By costs the same and there is enough content there for at least 3 to 4 hours (If not more)

Unless the place undergoes a radical change they should stop charging an entrance fee or they should just close the museum until they get their...

After reading all the losers posting 1 star reviews, I was expecting the worst of the worst. What we found instead was an informative, detailed and empathetic detail of gender identity throughout the ages. Perhaps if said people spent more time learning actual history and science, they would be more receptive to the information presented to them. Really friendly staff and great prices for tickets. I would recommend this to anyone who wanted to know more about Denmark's social history and to know more as to how this nation came to where...

People at cafe and reception were very nice and friendly. However, in terms of the exhibitions and how things were presented, I was disappointed. Possibly, I did not fully understand what was shown because I cannot read Danish but It was just primarily an overview of a gendered history of a certain group of women in Denmark and was superficial. I felt that the concept of intersectionality such as race/ethnicity, colonization, disability etc was not explored... I was hoping...

Located in the old city hall, they had displays on 4 floors when I visited. Ranging from a history of women's achievements and rights movement to a thought provoking piece about the meaning of gender bending burlesque, the displays got you thinking about how you personally think about gender. It was encouraging to see the progress and also disappointing to see the length of time required. Peter Land's exhibit was funny, odd and eerie. Nice way to end the visit.

De to gange jeg indtil videre har besøgt museet er jeg altid gået derfra i tilfreds tilstand. Museet gør et vigtigt stykke arbejde med at formidle om kønnenes historie. Jeg synes især det har været interessant at se udstillingen: Køn Redelighed, hvor man får et indblik i forskellige tiders syn på køn og hvordan kvinders rettigheder har udviklet sig. Det er tankevækkende, eks. så mange typer af køn, som man kan identificere sig med. For tiden er der også en udstilling om seksualundervisningens historie. Der er også sket et og andet henover årene. Lille minus der, er at der er montre i gulvhøjde, som er lidt anstrengende at bøje sig ned for at se. I børneudstillingen kan de små få en forståelse af hvordan børn for mange år siden har levet ved at de kan vælge og følge et barns historie rundt i udstillingen. Tilbage i sep. 2018 var der en udstilling om kvinderne, der vandt det uofficielle VM i fodbold tilbage i 1971, i Mexico. Det var spændende, at få mere viden om det. Som fodboldspiller selv undrer det mig, at jeg ikke har hørt om det før jeg for et par år siden tilfældigt fandt en dokumentar om det hos DR. Generelt er det godt, at der er en blanding af visning i montre, video- og lydklip samt muligheder for selv at blive involveret eks. i form af afstemninger, svare på et spørgsmål og hænge papiret op blandt andres svar osv.
