Not the first museum on our list when visiting Copenhagen, and having visited, probably not one for most 'non danes' as it tells a very specific story, mainly about one trade union official. Very few of the exhibits were in 'dual' language so it was quite often hard to follow. The exhibition and the Grand Hall in particular are worth a view, but probably only if you have seen most of the other attractions Copenhagen has to offer.

Very cool! The second floor is my favorite. I also love the first floor as well. They even had a doll crafting area! It tells a wonderful story of the working class through the ages and had a great gift shop. Staff are friendly and it is definitely worth a visit! Very close to the food court thing!

A great Museum with history and soul. You can spend an hour or full day exploring its multiple corners and finding lots of things that evoke warm and even nostalgic feeling. History which comes live and stands next to the current developments which are also perfectly depicted. The museum shop is a separate exhibit to discover with lots of curiosities and books.

Chronicles the life off ordinary Danish people in the past 150 years, and although you can expect a bit of propaganda for the Danish Workers Movement, it's a great museum filled with interesting little artifacts.

Awesome interactive museum - with a very specific story and few things in english! Even if you do not know the danish history or language, it’a still worth a visit.

Very informative and designed in an interactive way. Makes it easier for the company who is not that into history to have fun and learn something from the visit. Your temporary exhibition about danish leftist activism was amazing!!

Good place to get a visceral impression about the working conditions of the past times.

I loved this museum. They really put you in the shoes of the working class as it's changed since the early twentieth century up until today, and also touch on social issues while they're at it. A family who loves in Copenhagen for several decades and preserved their apartment donated it to the museum and you can see all of their appliances and even the decorations from their walls. A great way to experience history that is very recent and yet often feels worlds away due to the massive changes that took place during the last century.

This was a very interesting museum. Starting from how children worked (from the 1800s to the early 1900s) and then into the union of workers. Most of the displays are in Danish. However, we found a info booklet towards the front with the displays and english translations. I'd suggest getting this as there are a lot that don't have the translation on the 1st floor. The second floor has screens where you can select english so that helped too. I loved the set up and how you could interact in the scenes or rooms. I loved how the rooms were set up to look authentic and had little stories. It was very well done. There is an elevator on the first floor if needed but you do need to get up 3 steps to get there. I would recommend this visit, especially with kids as they can dress up and play. The staff were amazing and friendly and the little shop had quite a few cure gadgets and trinkets.

Very meaningful and well-curated museum - it's always interesting to visit a place where historical activities by and that affected the hoi polling took place. Technology is used effectively to transfer knowledge (e.g. tablet in the room to the left of the main hall). Great video (with English subtitles) on the balcony (under the current decade) to share information about the museum itself. A lift is available in the main hall for ease of movement, but it could be made more obvious (some people weren't aware of the option to use it and the stairs can be difficult to traverse). The special exhibition in the basement was also very informative regarding gender equality movements in Denmark. The restaurant on the other side of the basement looked fancy (unexpected because of the theme of the museum) and I didn't stay/eat there. Very lovely staff in all areas of the museum. Opened on Mondays - not all museums are on this day. Buy your ticket online for a cheaper rate.

I recently visited an intriguing museum that delves into the world of Danish workers and their role in the country's culture. While the majority of the exhibits were in Danish, it took a bit of searching to locate the English translations. By the way, don't miss out on the "workers food" buffets on the lower level (-1); they are quite delightful!

Fantastic museum with exhibition that tells the story of workers struggle to get fair pay etc. A special exhibit tells the story of women's rights. The restaurant serves typical Danish open top sandwiches (on rye bread) Absolutely worth a visit .... or two!

I will only give a 4-star not because the museum is not good but because more than half of it lacks translation from danish. We found ourselves walking in a museum but didn't understand much of it, the writings on the wall were in danish and the tablets did not work. Other than that, we loved the concept of it.

Had a excellent guided tour of the museum. Quite a lot of interesting history of workers and the labour movement (particularly) in Denmark. Will say parts where somewhat cramped and way too hot for comfort.

Great museum, up to date history about working class, birth of Unions, Womens right, Expo on a family in the 50ties, special expo's on former Prime Minister Anker Jørgensen and another on Klaus Albrechtsen, cafe with thin coffee with Rich's, "kiksekage" like in the good old days", go, go, go there and experience

A very interesting place, for all ages. An impressive building. I learned a lot!

Learn Danish first! Looks like a very interesting museum -- if you read Danish. The content that was translated was interesting -- but maybe amounts to 20%. There are screens that can translate other parts, but they don't really work. To their credit, when we told the receptionist we couldn't understand anything, he offered a refund.

Visited with copenhagen card. Small unique misuem with very special rooms and the union hall. Learned about some unique working class stories in denmark

come and see, a wonderful place to learn and feel about working class people , highly recomended

The permanent exhibition is disappointing and rather boring. Basically it consists of old apartments, preserved from the 1880's or 1950/60's, with some explanations about the families who lived there, and how a worker's family lived. There's also a part on the history of work, but there didn't seem to be an English translation available. This is a consistent problem here: almost all of the text throughout the museum is in Danish. They do have the English tranlations printed on a piece of paper that usually hangs up somewhere at the end of each exhibition. This isn't a great system, and I don't see why they don't just put the translations on stickers next to the Danish ones. One redeeming aspect though is that it looks like a lot of fun to visit with children. There's a whole section where children can touch and play with everything. Very cool. What really saved the visit for me is the temporary exhibition on activism. It's based on research from Aarhus university and very interesting and inspiring. One of those exhibitions where you just want to read and listen to everything. It's a bit of a pity that it only focuses on left wing activism, but then I guess it's the worker's museum for a reason. Also: the museum shop is not at all selling at socialist prices. Honestly. Edits: typo's

A very interesting museum especially for families. Never seen so many kids in a small museum. Cafè on first floor. Lifts available plus toilet facilities and gift shop.

I always love visiting the workers museum. They have a great new exhibition about activism. And as always their museum shop has great stuff.

The pavilion where workers used to congregate is beautiful. The rest of the museum is so-so. Copenhagen is so beautiful, you may be better off spending your time elsewhere unless you are extremely interested in the topic.

Probably as close to a time machine as you can get! This was an incredible experience! Especially after visiting one of the royal palaces, this really helps to put things in perspective. It's a surprisingly fun and immersive exhibition with small, thoughtful interactive elements. I'm sure I missed some details because some signs were in Danish, but you can infer a lot from the displays.

A good Museum but quite a lot of signs are not in English sadly. It could benefit from a guide to help tell the story. Layout a bit confusing. But the staff were really friendly. It was free entry with the Copenhagen card.

Hi there! Just a quick note to say that my family and I had a wonderful time at this museum yesterday and my son in particular had a blast getting to help sign us in to the computer! We'll definitely visit again soon! However there was a tiny fly in the ointment that made us feel disappointed in the selection of candy items in the gift shop: for a museum dedicated to the history of the rights of workers, it seems odd to sell chocolate from companies known to use slave labor in their production. We would very much like it if you went to selling certified slave free chocolates in the future 👍As for the rest of the museum? A-ok👍👍👍👍👍

Even tho - most of the exhibition is on English, there is a good section of the museum that is not. Most of the translations are written and no English voiceovers or guides are available which was a bit disappointing. What it would be great if museum had arrows or pointers to follow from floor to floor as the museum is a bit confusing to go trough. No clear direction where to go or in what direction to follow the story. Definitely needs improvement there. Staff was very nice and exhibition interesting nevertheless.

Bad experience. I cannot recommend this museum to any international tourist. Only a few boards/labels are translated into English, so I had to walk around with Google Translate. There are also some rooms with screens, where it is possible to read about exhibits in English, but their locations are inconvenient. It is hard to understand the way of the exhibition flow and with poorly prepared materials for international visitors, it makes a visit a total mess.

It's a nice place for children, with a whole level full of interactive games and activities. It can be useful for those interested in Danish history and/or nostalgic people :)

A very beautiful and purposeful place. They have very nice exhibitions, and even better activities for children. It's a child friendly place (even kindergarten). I would recommend it to everybody who wants an insight into the history.

Can I just say this is just great. All things are well preserved, especially the hall that it is still functioning! One can learn so much of the Denmark workers movement from visiting this museum.

Nice walktrough, a lot of reading if you want to. Make time to stop for a refillable coffe and a "poison cake" at second floor.

The worker museum is an unique way to learn about the history of working class people, unions and the social-democratic movement in Denmark.

Interesting exhibition on the danish Labor movement both historic and contemporary. The temporary exhibition on political activism was also very interesting.

Nice museum that well shows the socialistic life of Danish families in the 19th and 20th century. The only downside is that some of the explanations & videos are only in Danish.

Fairly interesting museum about workers rights in the move from an agrarian to an industrial economy. Some explanations in English. There is a part of the museum dedicated to people who lived in apartments in the building and the longest serving Danish prime minister. There is a beautiful art nouveau decorated main hall. One of the 6 in 1 museum pass. Nice market close by to buy food, plus the Metro.

Highly educational experience. I recommend browsing the whole museum, but the cafe and gift-shop were highlights for me.

A small museum detailing the history of workers in Copenhagen, this is a good place to spend a couple of hours in. Good for families traveling with children. Tip : Michelin-rated resto Selma, which serves smorrebrod, traditional open-faced sandwiches, is just two buildings away.

Remarkable museum about the Danish workers movement, the unions. Make sure you visit Festsalen, the ballroom one floor up from the entrance. If you want to try a genuinely Danish cake, go to the cafe next to the Festsal and order Kiksekage - a cake made of chocolate mass with bisquit layers

Very interesting, and I recommend it. Just one thing: make sure to check where to start, some of the floors tell a story, and if you go up the wrong stairs you'll be seeing it from the end to the start. There are no arrows pointing the right way, or a plan on a map that'd tell you the way to go.

Super nice museum. There is a Lenin statue as well. The large hall is worth a visit by itself. Very nice good for children as well. Good little cafe.

Extremely interesting and original. People's lives in the heart of it. We were quite fortunate to celebrate 1st of May in the museum singing and chatting. Many thanks from Greek people.
