The Occupation Museum - military museum

The Occupation Museum is a powerful, underground stop in Aarhus that feels immediate from the moment you go downstairs—more in-situ experience than classic museum halls. It focuses on Aarhus during the German occupation (1940–45), balancing everyday life with the harder choices, pressures and acts of resistance that shaped the city. The setting adds weight: the museum is housed in the former police building, used as Gestapo headquarters in the final years of the war.
