RAGNAROCK- Museet for pop, rock og ungdomskultur — Attraction in Roskilde Municipality

Absolutely loved this interactive and unique experience.. . Ragnarock is a Museum dedicated to the history and celebration of Danish Rock music, Music festivals, and Youth culture. Whilst staying in Copenhagen, visiting Denmark from the UK, we stumbled on this attraction after purchasing the Copenhagen Card. As a family we enjoy exploring new places so we decided to take a day trip to Roskilde (approx. 25 mins on the train from Copenhagen central). . Ragnarock is approx 20 mins walk from Roskilde station and is situated in a neighborhood called 'Musicon.DK'. Musicon.DK is a purpose built vibrant community for creative businesses and artists. The walk from station is well pathed but there are not many signs directing you to the museum so I would recommend using GPS to guide you if you don't have a map. Once you reach the Music on.DK area you will have no issues finding the Museum as it's a stinking venue that towers over everything else around the area. . On entering the museum straight away you will notice how this place is not only special, it's totally unique. The staff on reception were so welcoming and friendly and immediately explained (in English) how the museum works and the interactive activities available for children to play along with as you travel through the museum. You start the journey through each floor by heading up to the 3rd floor and walking down through each of the different areas. Every single area has interactive parts where you can dance, listen to music, read immersive stories, or produce your own music. All this whilst learning about the rock and youth culture of Denmark. . On completion of the exhibitions there is an excellent cafe to buy home cooked food which was exceptionally good for a museum and very good value for money. There are also plenty of facilities and a shop situated on the ground floor. . One of the quirky experiences is the cloakroom... Here you hang your jacket on the pull system which lifts the jacket above your head and locks it there until you want to collect it. It may sound crazy but it kept my kids occupied.... Ragnarock is such good fun if you get the chance to visit - take it. You won't be...

Impressive special building and entrance, unfortunately it pretty much stops there. Some of the "fluff" exhibits are nice, I should say, beautiful mirror installation at the start - also, especially liked the huge spinning vinyl disc one can sit and relax on for a while! There is also a mixerboard exhibit which is fairly educational and a projection disco dancefloor.

But museum value for a generic visitor or tourist? Not so much. Focus on only Danish music scene, it's all presented fairly unorganized, and also fairly quickly over. I nearly couldn't believe when I had finished the exhibit how such a huge building can house such a small exhibit. Was done in an hour.

Generally this can be skipped unless you have a huge, huge interest in specifically the development of the Danish youth rock/pop culture history and scene. Nice craft beer bar and microbrewery just outside the...

One of the strangest experiences of my life. It is extremely hard to describe what the purpose of this place is. It is visually stunning and has lots of exhibits, but when you look at them up close and read the blurbs (which are in Danish and a strange stylised Euro-English) you are left pretty non-plussed. I did learn that the Roskilde Festival is a big cultural event in Denmark, that it has had some great lineups over the years and that 9 young men tragically died one year after a crush during a Pearl Jam set. But the rest of it is a mess. My son and I were the only visitors while we were there which maybe says something. Good coffee though, and friendly staff. Maybe 53 year old British men are not the target...
