Pop-up museum in Vedbæk built from recycled modules
Rudersdal Museums opens a new pop-up museum in Vedbæk using modules from ABC Pavilions.
The iconic 7,000-year-old Vedbæk finds are among the items featured in the temporary exhibition at the pop-up museum, which is built from recycled modules supplied by the Central Jutland producer ABC Pavilions.
The temporary museum is centrally located by Vedbæk Station and consists of five recycled modules totaling 162 square meters. Here, visitors have the opportunity to experience exhibitions, participate in educational activities, and visit a small museum shop while plans for a new permanent museum take shape. Additionally, space has been made for office areas and toilet facilities.
According to Tobias K. Wilms, project manager at ABC Pavilions, the modules are designed according to the principle of design for disassembly, so they can easily be reused in future projects.
The facade is part of the experience
The temporary museum’s facade is decorated with an artwork created by students from Vedbæk School, who drew inspiration from the Stone Age animal life – a direct connection to the unique ancient finds Vedbæk finds from the local area.
A satisfied museum director
Museum director Vivi Lena Andersen highlights the collaboration as a good example of sustainable, temporary construction and local anchoring:
It’s important for us to stay in Vedbæk and continue to meet our audience while we develop the new museum. ABC Pavilions really understood the task and delivered the best described material, where the modules can be used in an unusual and visionary way, just as they were able to adapt the temporary building to our needs.
- Vivi Lena Andersen, museum director
The new temporary museum in Vedbæk opens on November 21, 2025 and will operate for three years.
