Take a stroll around the harbour in Struer, where it is hard to overlook a comely girl standing high on a plinth, holding a bird in her hands and gazing towards Thyholm. There is a fascinating story behind the harbour girl – just as there is behind Thyholm to the north and Struer to the south. In fact, there are all kinds of stories to discover: about authors, fjord culture, Tambohus, Kilen, the Vikings, the fishing industry, the holy spring, potatoes, wild orchids, the second-best golf course in Denmark, the beavers of Klosterheden heath, and Bang & Olufsen.

We can hardly wait to welcome you to a very special interactive exhibition at the new Struer
Museum. Look up, and through the impressive roof construction of the pyramid, you can watch sea gulls and clouds flitting across the sky. Look down, and you will find yourself in the heart of the newly reopened Bang & Olufsen section of the museum. This is where the story is told of two young engineers who – working from the home of one of their mothers – started a modest sound and vision company, which, more than 80 years on, is now synonymous with world-class audio and design. We are proud to be able to introduce you to a peerless chapter in the history of Danish Design and media.
