radiomuseum in Denmark

In Ringsted, Denmark, it is exhibition time from April 30th till 1st October 2017: 'Radio Mercur 60 years on’ is organised in cooperation with Danmarks Radio. The exhibition was completely built as the stern and cabin of the little Cheeta – once the radio ship of the station - with crew sleeps, assembly studio and play studio. All very nice done. It was also possible to put together a program with jingles and to broadcast it on a 50-year-old radio. The museum, was set up by volunteers, mainly 70 plus old ones and has existed for 50 years.

For 5 years, the location has been a church building that was no longer used and previously has been a village library and youth center. After much repercussions of the organisation of the youth center, Ringsted Municipality has released the building 5 years ago to the Ringsted Radio Museum. After a crowdfunding action, the organisation scrapped DKK 1.000.000, - gathered and started the renovation, because the 'youngsters' had been home. Up. 200 m2, of which 100 m2 is now equipped for the Radio Mercur Expo.
