Denmark’s only egg museum

A visit to Æglageret in Holbæk is a unique opportunity to learn about the history and development of the egg in the last 60 years. The building was constructed in 1921 by the egg exporter “Odense Ægforretning”. Back then, this was Denmark’s biggest private egg exporter, which was established in 1886 and primarily exported eggs to England.

In the basement, you will find 30 basins in which 3 Mio. eggs could be stored. In the old days, chicken only lay eggs during the summer, so eggs were preserved in lime water so they would last the winter.

Please note, that the egg exhibition is in Danish. Please contact the museum for information about guided tours in English.

Art in West Zealand: The annual exhibition ”VK”

Every year, in January and February, Æglageret presents the exhibition VK, Art in West Zealand, where local artists from all of West Zealand participate in a censored exhibition. The exhibition shows a broad range of art, including paintings, photography, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, textile, new media, glass and much more.
