Frederikssund museum
Frederikssund may be a small town, but even small places can hide big stories. On a small red farm, right by the Roskilde fjord, is the Frederikssund Museum. The museum is located in the old ferry yard, which has existed since 1559 and is a small piece of history in itself. Inside, the audience is invited on an exciting trip through Frederikssunds history, because at the Frederikssunds Museum you immerse yourself in stories. Here, history is not just something you read about in thick books, it is alive and must be seen, heard and felt. And with a little technical help from Stouenborg and several other creative partners, Frederikssunds history has come alive.
The main exhibition, which opened in March 2017 after a major renovation of the museum, is called "Man and Fjord" and tells about how mans relationship with Roskilde Fjord has changed over time - from the people of the past who searched for the fjord to find the food they needed for life and sail on out into the world, to todays people for whom the nature of the fjord is alluring. Stouenborg was involved in both the planning and the execution of the exhibition, which is both educational and engaging. Visitors can immerse themselves in the various stories and experience history up close. Eg. you can try the interactive fjord simulator, where you can turn back and forth in time and see how much the fjord has changed in the last 10,000 years. You are not just a spectator, but take part in history yourself. A story that tells both about a fjord, a city and a people that are still developing to this day.
