Køge Museum is centrally located in Køge city in the old merchant's house from 1619. In the museum's exhibitions, you can look forward to taking a journey through Køge's history. From the mighty Viking Age to the hunter-gatherer people in the Stone Age.

At the KØS Museum, you can go on a visual journey through Danish history, as the visual artist Bjørn Nørgaard depicts in colorful and eye-catching 1:1 sketches for the Queen's tapestries in their current exhibition "Bjørn Nørgaard's cartoons for the Queen's tapestries."
