About the Museum

The Natural History Museum of Denmark is the national museum for nature and contains more than 14 million objects of preserved animals, plants, fossils, and minerals. Natural history museums have never been more important for monitoring the impact of climate change and the direct human threat to plant and animal life.

We are currently building a new Danish national museum for nature. One big museum site in the Botanical Garden at the center of Copenhagen will host state-of-the-art laboratories, outstanding research collections, new public galleries, and combined facilities for programming, education, and citizen science.

Primary focus of the Conservation Unit will be to conserve, prepare, and install various objects for the new public galleries, which are currently being developed in connection with the build of a new national Natural History Museum. Currently, seven exhibition core groups are developing the content of the new permanent galleries, which are planned to open to the public at the end of 2026.

The Natural History Museum of Denmark offers a friendly and thriving international research and work environment. International candidates may find information on living and working in Denmark at https://www.ku.dk/english/
