Museum Lolland-Falster is seeking local residents around Nakskov to lend maritime items for a new exhibit that will be housed in an upcoming harbor building.
Museum Lolland-Falster, based in Nakskov, is appealing to the local community to search their homes and sheds for maritime memorabilia like sails, ropes, or other ship-related items. The museum is set to take over a harbor building in the western part of Lolland, which will feature a new exhibition focusing on the history of the town and the fjord. The initiative aims to enrich the display by incorporating items with personal and localized significance.
Emilie Frederikke Køhler Hansen has been designated as the leader at the new harbor building and emphasizes the importance of private contributions to making the exhibit resonate more with visitors. She believes that items connected to the region will provide an enhanced narrative and create a deeper experience for guests. By engaging the community in this way, the museum is not only gathering artifacts but also fostering a collective historical remembrance.
This approach helps to build a stronger connection between the museum, the local heritage, and residents, making history more tangible and relatable. As the museum prepares for the launch of this new exhibit, it stands to highlight the importance of maritime culture in Lolland-Falster, drawing attention to how local history shapes identity and community.
