Christmas is hidden in the little things: the scents, the decorations, the excitement of anticipation, and the memories of Christmases gone by. Enjoy the Christmas spirit in the old workers’ assembly building.
A 1950s Christmas Setting
📍First Floor – The 1950s
Experience Christmas during a time of rationing. Explore the Hansen family’s small flat and the museum’s recreated shopping street. Decorated in keeping with the tastes of the era, the home reflects a time when goods were scarce and unemployment remained high in the years following the Second World War. As a result, most Christmas decorations were reused year after year.
Make Your Own Christmas “nisse“
📍The Banquet Hall
For many working-class families, most Christmas decorations were handmade. Follow in the footsteps of the children of the past and make your own Christmas yarn “nisse”. Will you hang it in your room or on the Christmas tree? Join us in the café or the Banquet Hall, where you can make your own “nisse” throughout the Christmas season.
Play at the Children’s Workers Museum
Let the children take charge of the corner shop, work the till, and stock the shelves. They can try their hand at being a delivery boy, sorting bottles at the brewery, or stamping union membership cards in the trade union office. They can also play in a 1930s flat and discover everyday life at that time.
