The Museum of Justice is the national museum for police, the legal system, and the correctional services. The museum is always looking for objects and photographs from periods or events from our areas of interest, also from recent history. 

The Museum of Justice’s collection consists of about 20 000 objects and 6000 photographs from the 17th century to today. The collection originates from the police services, the prosecuting authority, the prison system, lawyers and the courts. Most of the collection has been donated or deposited from the different services, but some are donations from private citizens. 

Do you want to donate something to the Museum of Justice’s collection, and thus contribute to document and preserve our history and cultural heritage for the future?
