Other things to do

The museum is located in the old barracks called Avedørelejren, which was built in 1911-1913. Today Avedørelejren is a dynamic area with a mix of business, residential housing and culture. Among the latter is the frontrunner in the Danish film industry called Zentropa. If you take a 15 minute stroll from the museum you can find the old fortification that surrounded Copenhagen and was in use during WWI, although the war never came to Denmark. 500 metres from the museum you can see one of the famous giants created by the artist Thomas Dambo. It is one of 7 hidden giants at the western part of the Copenhagen metropolitan area.
