ENIGMA is the museum for post, telecommunications and communication. A new museum that makes history contemporary with exhibitions, children's area and workshop.
At ENIGMA you can explore two different exhibition areas that together depict the history of Danish communication and media from the establishment of the postal service in 1624, through mass communication in sounds and images and to the digital realities of our time. Discover the great ideas of communication history that became the incredible inventions that have brought people together and made the world both a bigger and a smaller place at the same time. Learn about eavesdropping, surveillance and false truths and how communication technologies threaten us as a society and as individuals - both past and present.
ENIGMA's children's area sucks you into the wonderful world that all our smart phones are full of. It all takes place as in the days before the internet and iPads. You can slide, crawl, turn, lift, and touch phones and play postman. Send an emoji around the world, write a letter on a typewriter, and make your very own stamp.
The computer game is the most successful cultural product of our time, and in the museum's arcade hall you will meet both the arcade heroes of the 80s and all those who inhabit the games in front of and behind the screen. Try the gaming technology of the past and relive or discover the feeling of the gaming revolution. In ENIGMA's basement, we have not only created a historical exhibition about digital games, but also an active arcade hall.
ENIGMA has something for children, for those who have children and for those who still feel like children. There is plenty for those who prefer to touch things to understand them. You can read, listen, play, learn, try, and understand. And you will definitely have learned something new when you go back home. Past, present, and future under one roof.
