Overview
Opened in 1982 as the Women's Museum (Kvindemuseet) and housed since 1984 in the former 1857 Aarhus city hall, this museum has since been renamed 'KØN – Gender Museum Denmark,' making it the country's only museum dedicated to the history of gender and identity. Exhibits range from women's history, labor, and fashion through the ages to contemporary conversations on gender identity, and the historic building itself is worth exploring. It's close to Aarhus Cathedral and the Latin Quarter, making it easy to combine. Admission about DKK 110 (details may change).
Travel Tips
Take time to admire the historic interior of the former city hall. Easy to combine with a walk to Aarhus Cathedral and the Latin Quarter.
