Discover the history of Danish workers at Arbejdermuseet
In collaboration with Arbejdermuseet we invite our Connect Club members to a guided tour of the exhibition We are the Workers.
At the exhibition you’ll step into the midst of Danish history. Here, you will meet housemaids and farm workers, machinists and office workers, skilled and unskilled laborers. People who, individually, are vulnerable but find strength in standing together.
Step into the harsh lives and world of the workers. In the maidservant’s damp chamber and in the family’s miserable attic apartment, where the cold seeps in between the boards. They have moved to the city in hopes of a better life.
Go back to a time when people fought for an 8-hour workday instead of a 12-hour. When strikes and lockouts were commonplace, but not something the family could survive on.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is Denmark’s oldest lunchbox (or more precisely a lunch sack). A rye bread sandwich with lard wrapped in a piece of paper from the newspaper Socialdemokraten dated August 20, 1886. Found 100 years later behind a panel at Rosenborg Castle. The craftsman who left his lunchbox there also left behind a small piece of Danish history.
