The Frederiks Vaerk Museum of Industry is the local museum for the Municipality of Halsnaes in Northern Zealand. It runs The Powder Works Museum, The Ironmaster’s Mansion (“Palæet”) and the old military depot Arsenalet in Frederiksvaerk besides a complete different site that is the memorial of the Danish polar explorer Knud Rasmussen in Hundested.

The aim of the museum is to focus on the unique industrial heritage of Frederiksvaerk whilst incorporating heritage in planning for the future. It is the ambition of the museum to redefine the thinking about museums in general. To this end The Frederiksvaerk Museum of Industry is working hard to develop what we call ‘A Museum without Walls’. This museum concept considers the common space of the town and the heritage landscape its exhibition room, as it tears down traditional boundaries between the exhibition, the storage, and the propagation of knowledge. The concept specifically targets the youth, local inhabitants, and tourists - both domestic and from abroad.
