OPENING HOUS AND TICKETS

Oplevelsescenter Maskinrummet a new attraction at Skagen Harbor that brings together large machines, engines, cars, motorcycles, maritime artifacts, a large historical fashion section, luxury shops, restaurants, and events all under one roof. It spans more than 12,000 m² across two buildings and several floors. The venue is designed as an experience center for the whole family—not a traditional museum—where many of the engines can be started up and brought to life.

The center is located at Auktionsvej 2, 9990 Skagen, in the middle of Skagen Harbor.

Behind the project is fisherman and businessman Henning Kjeldsen, whose private collection of historic engines, vehicles, and brand-name items such as bags, suitcases, and more forms the core of the center. He is also the owner of Plesner’s Badehotel in Skagen, and the two locations are part of a single, integrated visitor experience.

No. Oplevelsescenter Maskinrummet deliberately designed as an experience center rather than a museum.
