Museum Silkeborg, Papirmuseet
About This Museum
People often come here looking for the story of Silkeborg, and they find it woven right into the paper. This place isn't just in the old paper mill; it is the old paper mill, with the original machines still standing tall and quiet. You can almost hear the rumble of production and picture the workers who shaped this town's identity for over a century. It’s a wonderfully tangible connection to the industrial heart that once beat so strongly here.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is a colossal paper machine from 1887, a beautiful, intricate beast of iron and brass. Don't miss getting your hands on the different paper samples or seeing the small, charming exhibition on local graphic art.
