The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at the Workers Museum

Both cards cover full entry. The useful thing about this one is not what it includes but when it is open.

✓ The Assembly Hall, the building the museum grew out of, kept as it was
✓ Temporary exhibitions in the same building

Inside

What to see at the Workers Museum

A social history museum inside the building it is about — the hall Copenhagen's labour movement built for itself in 1879. Allow an hour and a half.

Highlight 1
The Assembly Hall itself

The museum occupies the original Workers' Assembly Building, and the great hall upstairs has been kept rather than modernised. It is the room the Copenhagen labour movement met in, and standing in it does more than a caption can.

Highlight 2
The reconstructed homes

Whole flats rebuilt room by room, furnished as families actually lived in them across different decades — the kind of display that fixes a period in your head far better than an object in a case. This is what most visitors remember.

Highlight 3
A museum about ordinary people

Copenhagen has castles, royal collections and national treasures within fifteen minutes of here. This is the one about everybody else, and it is a useful corrective if you have spent the morning looking at crown jewels.

Before you visit

Read before you go

The opening hours are the reason to plan around this one, and they run the opposite way to everything near it. Confirmed against arbejdermuseet.dk.

Open every day, when its neighbours are not
  • Open every day of the week, 10am to 5pm, and Thursdays to 8pm. There is no Monday closure at any time of year.
  • That matters here more than anywhere. SMK and the Hirschsprung both close Mondays, and Rosenborg closes Mondays through the winter — so on a Monday this corner of the city has one museum open, and this is it.
  • It is one of about a dozen card venues that never close on a Monday, which is worth knowing when you are deciding how many days of card to buy.
What it costs without a card
  • Adult admission is €18 (135 DKK) and under-18s are free.
  • Both cards cover it in full — this is not a Discover-only venue, despite being a specialist museum.
  • Rømersgade 22, five minutes from Nørreport on foot.
It pairs with the royal collections, not against them
  • Rosenborg is a seven-minute walk through the King’s Garden, and the contrast is the point rather than a clash.
  • SMK and the Hirschsprung are both in the same direction, making a straightforward half-day on foot.
  • Nørreport is the busiest interchange in the country, so this is easy to reach from anywhere on the Discover card.
Getting there

How to get to the Workers Museum

Rømersgade, just off Nørreport. Central, easy, and covered on both cards for entry — though only one covers the journey.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Metro M1, M2, M3 or M4 to Nørreport, then five minutes on foot. The fare is covered.
✓ S-trains and regional trains also stop at Nørreport, all covered on Discover.
✓ About 20 minutes on foot from Copenhagen Central, or three stops on the metro.
✓ From the airport — M2 to Kongens Nytorv then M1 or M3 to Nørreport, roughly 20 minutes and covered.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✓ Entry is included on the Hop card — the museum is covered by both.
✓ The hop-on hop-off bus stops at Nørreport, five minutes away.
✗ The metro, S-trains and city buses are not covered on the Hop card, so airport arrivals pay separately.
The Nørreport cluster
  • Rosenborg Castle is seven minutes away through the King’s Garden, and the crown jewels are in the basement.
  • SMK and the Hirschsprung Collection are both a little further north in the same park, and both on the card.
  • All four are within twenty minutes on foot of each other, which makes this a day that needs no transport at all once you arrive.
Plan the rest of the day

Common questions

The Workers Museum — card FAQ

Is The Workers Museum included with the Copenhagen Card?

Full entry is free on both the Discover and Hop cards, covering the permanent exhibition, the Assembly Hall and the temporary shows. Adult admission without a card is €18 (135 DKK), and under-18s are free.

Is The Workers Museum open on Mondays?

The Workers Museum opens every day of the week, Mondays included, from 10am to 5pm and until 8pm on Thursdays. That makes it the dependable option near Nørreport on a Monday, when SMK and the Hirschsprung Collection are both closed and Rosenborg is closed through the winter.

Do I need to book The Workers 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 — there is no timed entry and no separate reservation to make.

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

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. The temporary exhibitions are inside the same ticket rather than counting separately, so there is no advantage in splitting a visit across two days.

How do I get into The Workers 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.
