And all our efforts are guide by this statement: Our mission: to embody and develop the prerequisites for everyone to be able to gain insight into cultural heritage. It might seem a little clunky, but that’s my poor translation.
We’re not in the MONEY-business
We’re in the VALUE-business!
(RE)USE = VALUE
Experience economy | Education | Cultural plurality

It might be obvious to many of you, but I feel it’s important to note nontheless. We as museums are not put in the world to make money, we’re here to make a difference and affect people lives. We want to help people gain insight and perspective. For us, USE and reuse of cultural heritage stuff equals value.

“VIDEN” So we’re about KNOWLEDGE creation and sharing. And as you probably know, knowledge needs mediation to be valuable! Books are still one the most used media for transmitting knowledge…

In the fall 2012 Denmark had its first cultural heritage hackathon. Inspired by Europeana, who have held a series under the name #hack4europe – we called it #hack4dk
HACKATHON A hackathon is an event in which computer programmers and
others in the field of software development, like graphic designers,
interface designers and project managers collaborate intensively
on software projects.

direction.“

Getting back to my museum, this is where we’re at right now. The world is definately changing around us. New challenges, new practices and new tools are here. I admit, it’s a bit overdramatic, but I really like this image for it’s ability to illustrate and communicate a “sense of urgency”. And my point obviously is: We, The National Museum, are not where we want to be…
