Circus Museum

At the Circus Museum in Hvidovre, just a short trip from Copenhagen, you can experience beautiful costumes, fun props and rare film clips from the circus world. Since 2001, the Circus Museum has been passing on their knowledge of artistry and circus culture. At the same time, the museum is also a place of experience where artists gather and create joy for the visiting guests. The museum is primarily based on the collector, juggler and contortionist: Ølund “Barly” Jacobsen's (1917-1999) extensive circus collection. In addition, the Circus Museum offers a number of circus activities that visitors can participate in – for example, the opportunity to be a circus artist for a day. The Circus Museum is especially suitable for the circus curious and families with children, as the museum facilitates various activities for children. You can read more about the current activities on the Circus Museum's website.

At the museum you can experience how the only limit to what is possible is your imagination. For example, can you lift a horse with your teeth? Yes, you can in the circus, and at the Circus Museum you can see how.
