What to expect
The Sea War Museum Jutland is a war museum located in Thyborøn, Denmark, that tells the story of the Battle of Jutland, the largest naval battle in history, which took place during World War I. The museum features exhibits on the battle, as well as other aspects of maritime warfare in the North Sea during the war, including British and German U-boats, the air war over the North Sea, and marine archaeology. The museum also has a Memorial Park, which commemorates the 8,645 sailors who died in the battle, with 26 granite blocks representing each sunken ship and a goal of eventually having 8,645 statues, one for each sailor. The museum's motto is 'War is a tragedy and should not be glorified, but the story must be told, and the victims must be remembered.'
