Abstract

This chapter examines the displays of medieval church art in the National Museum of Denmark since the museum was founded in 1807. It discusses how and why ecclesiastical objects came to dominate the galleries devoted to Denmark’s cultural history and shows how the museum deliberately focused on two “extinct cultures”: the prehistoric period and the medieval Church up to the Lutheran Reformation in 1536. As time passed, the museum acquired a rich and important collection of medieval ecclesiastical objects, which allowed it to define the Middle Ages by religion. The museum’s responsibilities were also balanced with a remit to restore and protect liturgical fixtures and objects that remain in churches. The current medieval galleries from 1979–1992 occupy 12 rooms, of which eight are devoted to ecclesiastical objects from Danish churches. However, these galleries might be the last that are permanently installed in the National Museum. Plans for the years to come include abandoning large, chronological displays in favour of a “backbone” display that follows Danish history from the Ice Age to the present day, with a few selected objects that guests can visit in an hour along with thematic interdisciplinary displays.
