In presenting 25 industrial sites of national significance in the context of changing techno-economic paradigms, this book considers the development of Danish industrial landscapes and built-up environments in the period 1840–1970.

Three case studies of ports, sugar mills, and cement plants are also presented. The book concludes with two chapters that discuss perceptions and strategies for the conversion of industrial sites, and an overview is given covering the preservation of industrial heritage in Denmark, historically.

“Although Denmark is often perceived as an agricultural country, industry is a very important sector in the Danish economy, employing a large number of people and having considerable influence on Danish society and culture in general. The appreciation of industrial history, as well as the tangible and intangible remains of industry, is an important heritage.”

      No new museums have opened, but existing museums have opened new exhibitions. In 1996 the hosiery museum in Herning inaugurated a new exhibition space, Textilforum, in a former textile mill, and before that the museum had succeeded in preserving a very modest workshop from 1919 where many of the town’s industrialists had started their businesses.

        Other museums ‘adopted’ an industrial plant, such as the small hammer mill at Hellebæk (1982), Cathrinesminde Tile Works (1981-93), Hjort’s Terracotta Factory (1995) on Bornholm, or the Sandager Water Mill in Odder, and the work to produce documentation of the industrial housing and production environment was taken up by more museums.

          In 1916 the Carlsberg Museum appeared on the initiative of Vagn Jacobsen, son of Carl Jacobsen. It was housed next to the villa of Carl in the old Glyptotek which was originally built for antiquities and fine arts objects. The museum exhibited among other things large portraits of the founder and his son, a reconstruction of the study of J.C. Jacobsen, the old wash-boiler where the first brew was made, several advertising prints to promote the first export attempts going back to the 1870s, as well as a painting celebrating the visit of His Majesty King Christian IX, Zsar Alexander III and the Prince of Wales and other royalty to the brewery in 1892 (Linvald 1966)
