Well... If you have any interest for large machinery, engines or moving parts what so ever, then this is a must go. Check the webpage for when they start the engines so you get the most out of it. Free admission.

This museum is one of a kind. Besides the amazing big engine it also gives a good overview of the B&W diesel engines, also used in the maritime industrie.
If you have ever worked with a B&W you should visit this museum for sure. As Dutchmen we even got a separate explanation in English.

This is a very specialised museum, but if you have an interest in things mechanical this is an absolute must. It holds a very, very big diesel engine that is literally awesome. As well there are displays covering the development of the company that developed it, the development of diesel engines for shipping and a display outlining the wares of the company that now owns the original company. The engine is started on given sSundays only, and unfortunately I was not in Denmark for one one them, but that would be something. A visit is only going to be an hour or so, but its time well spent. Its in a three story building but there are lifts. The engine was originally used to provide peak power for Copenhagen and is still within the grounds of a power station. So look for the tall chimneys. The bus stops right beside the pedestrian entrance and its about ten minutes walking time from the Copenhagen mall.
