Gilleleje Museum presents the local history of Gilleleje. A unique story makes the city famous, the rescue operation of Danish Jews in October 1943. The project investigates the sense of place, characteristic atmospheres and how history can be experienced through architecture. A new urban space is created and transformation and addition to the existing creating a complete museum experience.

The exhibition consists of three elements: A bench, an original dinghy, and a view of the Gilleleje Church and cemetery, both playing a significant role in the history of the rescue operation of Danish Jews. The room is illuminated only by a small gap, creating an evocative atmosphere inviting the visitors to take part and revisit the historical events.
