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 – The Perspective Bank – was created in collaboration with undergraduate students from Ethnological Communication at the University of Copenhagen. The exhibition explores what happens when younger voices interpret the economic arena. The students have worked with 14 themes, ranging from the housing market and the role of the bank advisor to clothing consumption and overconsumption. Each theme is presented at a counter that symbolises a fragment of the economic reality we are all part of, but which many young people experience as distant. With the Perspective Bank, the museum wants to give young people a voice and strengthen their economic understanding.

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.
