ENIGMA - Museum of Communication

Welcome to a new museum containing exhibitions, a children’s area, a workshop, and experiences for the whole family.

At ENIGMA, you can explore two distinct exhibition areas that depict Denmark’s communication and media history. From the establishment of the postal service in 1624, through mass communication in sound and image, to today’s digital realities, you’ll encounter the great ideas in communication history while gaining insights into eavesdropping, surveillance, and fake truths.

Video games are the most successful cultural product of our time, and in ENIGMA’s arcade hall, you can meet both the arcade heroes of the 1980s and the characters that inhabit the games, both on-screen and behind the scenes. The museum has not only created a historical exhibition about digital games but also an active arcade hall where you can experience old gaming technologies yourself.

ENIGMA’s children’s area immerses you in the fascinating world hidden within our modern smartphones. Here, everything takes place as it did before the age of the internet and iPads. You can slide, crawl, spin, lift, and interact with telephones or try working as a postman. Send an emoji around the world, type a letter on a typewriter, and even design your very own stamp.
