The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at the Vedbæk Finds Museum

The Discover card covers the museum and the train out. Before anything else: this is now described as a pop-up museum, so check it is open on the day you plan to go.

Copenhagen Card
What's included
Discover only
✓ The Vedbæk finds — the graves excavated in the 1970s, and the objects buried with them
✓ The train out to Holte, covered on Discover
At your own cost
Not included
Both cards
✗ The Hop card — this is well outside the city, and that card covers neither the museum nor the journey
✗ Any guarantee that it is open. The card issuer now lists it as a pop-up museum, so the hours are not fixed
✗ A second visit. One scan per attraction, so the card opens this door once
Inside

What to see at the Vedbæk Finds Museum

Seventeen graves from around 5000 BC, excavated a few kilometres away and shown at Gl. Holtegaard. Allow an hour.

Highlight 1
Seventeen graves, twenty-two people

Excavated at Vedbæk in the 1970s and dating from the Maglemose period, around 5000 BC. Burials that old, in that number, with grave goods intact, are among the most significant found anywhere in Europe — this is not a local curiosity.

Highlight 2
What was buried with them

The grave goods are the part that turns bones into people: what was thought worth sending with someone seven thousand years ago. Very little survives from the Danish Mesolithic at all, and almost nothing this personal.

Highlight 3
The material, not the display

Reviewers are consistent that the presentation is dated and the material is exceptional. That is worth knowing in advance: come for what is in the cases rather than for how it is shown, and it is a remarkable hour.

Before you visit

Read before you go

One thing to check before you set out, and one figure this page will not repeat. Details from the card issuer's listing and rudersdal.dk.

It is now a pop-up museum, so check before you travel
  • The card issuer describes it as the pop-up museum Vedbækfundene, used to test new programmes and activities. That means the opening may be irregular rather than the fixed weekly pattern most card venues keep.
  • This is a 30-minute train each way, so a closed door costs most of a morning. Check before you set out rather than turning up on the strength of a listing.
  • Whether it closes on Mondays specifically is not established either, which is why there is no Mondays figure in the bar above.
No published price — and a review is not a price
  • No official admission figure has been published anywhere we can check. A visitor review reports one, and reports that under-18s are free, but a review is not a source this site will quote a price from.
  • So this page states no figure at all, and the museum counts nothing toward a break-even total. That is the same rule that keeps invented prices out of our calculator.
  • Coverage itself is settled. The Discover card includes entry, and the train to Holte with it.
Where it is, and what else is out that way
  • It is housed at Gl. Holtegaard in Holte, not at Vedbæk where the graves were found.
  • Ordrupgaard and the Karen Blixen Museum are both on the same coast and both on the card, which makes a fuller day than this alone.
  • About 30 minutes by train — see what each card covers on public transport for where the Discover card stops.
Getting there

How to get to the Vedbæk Finds Museum

Holte is about 30 minutes north of Copenhagen by train. All of it is on the Discover card.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Train from Copenhagen Central to Holte — about 30 minutes, and the fare is covered.
✓ Then a short walk or local bus to Gl. Holtegaard, also covered.
✓ The Discover card covers the whole Capital Region, so Holte costs nothing beyond the card.
✓ From the airport — train to Copenhagen Central, then north. All covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✗ The Vedbæk Finds Museum is not included on the Hop card — neither the entry nor the train.
✗ The hop-on hop-off routes stay inside Copenhagen and do not reach Holte.
✗ Discover is the card that covers the northern suburbs and the coast.
The coast and the suburbs north
  • Ordrupgaard is at Charlottenlund, with French and Danish painting and an art park.
  • The Karen Blixen Museum is further up at Rungsted, kept as she lived in it.
  • Classic Car House is over at Lyngby, with more than 300 cars and free Thursday meet-ups in summer.

Common questions

The Vedbæk Finds Museum — card FAQ

Is The Vedbæk Finds Museum included with the Copenhagen Card?

The Copenhagen Card Discover covers entry and the train to Holte with it. No official admission price has been published — a visitor review reports one, which is not a source this site quotes prices from — so this page states no figure. The Hop card covers neither.

Is The Vedbæk Finds Museum open on Mondays?

The Monday rule is not published anywhere we can check, so this page does not claim it either way. The bigger issue is that the card issuer now lists this as a pop-up museum, so opening may be irregular. Check before making the 30-minute journey.

Do I need to book The Vedbæk Finds Museum in advance with the Copenhagen Card?

Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in — provided it is open, which is worth confirming first given the pop-up arrangement.

Can I visit The Vedbæk Finds Museum twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. Ordrupgaard and the Karen Blixen Museum on the same coast each count as their own attraction and their own scan.

How do I get into The Vedbæk Finds Museum with the Copenhagen Card?

Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
