Agency for Culture and Palaces (Denmark)

It works internationally in all fields, and increased internationalisation of Danish arts and cultural life is a top priority.

Ancient sites and monuments include burial mounds, rock carvings, runic stones, road tracks, military fortifications, castles, ruins, etc.

All sites and monuments are protected from destruction under the Danish Museum Act which is administered by the Heritage Agency.

The Heritage Agency does not own any sites and monuments itself, though it manages the restoration of selected megalithic tombs and Medieval ruins.

Eligibility extends to everything from castles and mansions to town halls, prisons, farmhouses, factories, warehouses and filling stations.

[4] Museums owned or subsidised by the State must report their collections to two national registers maintained by the Heritage Agency.

[5] Established in 2004, the register of the cultural heritage museums' collections holds information on approximately two million objects.
