Danske Museer (Danish Museums) is a professional journal for Danish museums. Published six times a year, the journal has a circulation that includes museum professionals and boards as well as public authorities, opinion makers and people generally interested in museum activities.

In addition to providing news, the journal is a forum for debate in the Danish museum world. Danske Museer is independent of all special-interest organisations and is published by Museumstjenesten (The Museums Service), a Danish commercial foundation.

The journal receives financial support from the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Danish Ministry of Culture.

The editorial committee consists of editor Frank Birkebæk, Roskilde Museum, Tove Borre (exhibitions, books, etc.) and Else Kierstein (layout). Contact e-mail: tlb@danskemuseer.dk

Danske Museer will periodically publish English translations of articles from the journal - in whole or in part - on this Web site. We hope this will give an international audience the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the ideas and developments current within the Danish museum world.
