Our vision

The Museum Society for Hørsholm and Surroundings, hereafter called The Museum Society, has the vision of creating an understanding of how the past influences the lives of the present citizens, and making it possible for the future citizens to find their historical roots. 

Our history

The Museum Society was founded on the 9^th of October 1942 in the midst of World War II when Denmark was occupied by Germany. The founding assembly took place at Hørsholm Hotel.

It was decided that the issue of a museum was of importance to the whole county, so it was decided that the area of the Museum to be, should consist of the areas that once was Hørsholm Gods or Hirschholm County, i.e. the parishes of Birkerød, Blovstrød, Hørsholm and Karlebo.

What we do

We managed to get our Museum, and in 1996 The Museum Society was separated from the Museum of Hørsholm and Surroundings, and became an independent Society. We have since then been working actively within historical- and museum issues within our area.

But our main objective is still to support The Museum of Hørsholm and Surroundings. This is done in various ways. We support the museums yearbook financially, and we occupy 4 of the 9 seats at the museum's board, and we offer our support in any other way we and the museum decides to be beneficial.
