Delegation of the War Museum led by Director General Yurii Savchuk made a working visit to Denmark. The program of the business trip included negotiations and establishment of cooperation with three Danish museum institutions.
First, the Ukrainian museum team visited the Museum Horsens, whose doors were hospitably opened by Director Karsten Merrald Sørensen. Among other things, this museum is famous for having one of the largest museumified prisons in the world.
The second stop on the working trip was the town of Langelands and its local Cold War Museum Langelandsfort. The institution’s Director, Peer Henrik Hansen, warmly welcomed his colleagues from Kyiv to the unique fortified military facility, which has now been transformed into a museum.
The final visit took place at the Sea War Museum in Thyborøn, where the Ukrainian delegation was received by its director, Gert Normann Andersen. This museum is dedicated not only to naval battles of the First World War but also illustrates the rapid development of military technologies in the 20th–21st centuries.
The Speaker of the Danish Parliament, Søren Gade, personally attended the meeting in Thyborøn, demonstrating strategic interest in partnership in the cultural sphere.
During the negotiations, Danish and Ukrainian museum professionals reached an agreement on the creation of joint exhibition projects, in particular with the aim of providing broader coverage of Russia’s criminal aggression and the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people.
We sincerely thank our Danish colleagues for their hospitality, the warmth of their hearts that warms even in the harshest winters, and most of all – for their solidarity with our country. We are working to make 2026 a particularly memorable page in the chronicle of cultural cooperation between Ukraine and Denmark!
