A visit to the Danish Bank and Savings Museum is a peek into 19th-century banking. The museum tells the whole story of a time when banks became increasingly important in the Danish and international financial world.
MONEY – yours, mine and ours is the permanent exhibition. It gives you an insight into a time when banks became increasingly important nationally and internationally. You can also learn the story of C.F. Tietgen – one of Privatbanken’s first directors, see a large selection of money boxes and much more.
Visit the cellar where the old barrels from the time when cherry liqueur was made on site. Listen to the sounds and watch a short film from the 1920s about the work in Heerings Gaard.
This year’s special exhibition, Unstable Economy, brings together four artists – Hannibal Andersen, Jamilla Mahmoud, Jacob Remin and Sisters Hope – who have each addressed economic instability through new works. For even though the languages of economics and art rarely meet, art can open up new images of uncertainty, crisis, collapse and hope for new systems. The works are experienced in the following order: Ruined, Double Rifled, Data Reserve and Sensuous Society Manifesto, which in different ways explore the fluctuations and openings of the economy. Just as tomorrow’s events are hidden from us, the works are revealed one at a time as you move through the exhibition’s black and white corridors with shifting views of light and darkness. Along the way, you will find four small grey boxes, which you are welcome to open and explore.

The wine cellar was set up after Peter F. Heering bought the grocery store in 1838 from the Bornholm sea captain, Hans Peter Kofoed. After the purchase, the place got its name: Heerings Gaard. From basement to attic there has been activity and production, and it is here that the cherry liqueur company Peter F. Heering A/S had its headquarters.
The museum is located in the beautiful Heerings Gaard, where the Heering family produced the famous Cherry Heering for generations. Take a walk in the cellar and see the old, impressive barrels.
