Welcome to the Association of Danish Museums
The Association of Danish Museums (in Danish: Organisationen DANSKE MUSEER/ODM) is the common political and professional voice for most of the museums in Denmark.
Union and diversity
ODM speaks for museums in the three traditional categories: art museums, museums of cultural history and museums of natural history. ODM makes it possible for the museums to speak with one voice while recognizing all the obvious differences.
ODM is new - and old
ODM was established on March 2nd 2005 - as a merger of several existing organisations within the field. ODM was thus based on existing professional networks and experience.
Professionalism - a keyword for Danish museums
196 museums are members of ODM. The museums and their employees can take advantage of courses, supplementary training, consultancies etc to improve skills and capacities in all parts of the museum world.
Networking is essential - also internationally
ODM is working for better conditions for Danish museums in general. ODM works and communicates with members, the public, authorities and other organisations in Denmark and abroad.
