The Workers Museum occupies the Workers' Assembly Hall on Rømersgade, built by the labour movement in 1879 and considered the oldest surviving workers' assembly hall in Europe. Opened in 1983, it tells how daily life and working conditions changed for ordinary Danes and how the labour movement helped build the welfare state. Highlights include the restored Banquet Hall, a recreated 1950s working-class flat and shopping street, a hands-on Children's Workers Museum, and the listed basement beer hall "1892".
