Ole Rømer and 400 Years of Danish Astronomy

The museum's permanent exhibition. The astronomer and engineer Ole Rømer (1644-1710), world famous for having discovered that light moves with a finite speed, had his observatory only few hundred feet from where the museum now stands, and Kroppedal has the largest Rømer-collection in the world.

The exhibition takes the guest through 400 years of Danish astronomy from Tycho Brahe's painstaking efforts to map the sky by observing with the naked eye to 20th century astrophysics.
