Main attraction: The exhibition
The 3,000m2 exhibition is a self-guided journey through the history of the Jacobsen family, the scientific discoveries, the Carlsberg brand, and, of course, beer.
When you enter the exhibition, one of our colleagues will welcome you with a welcome toast. After that, you can explore Carlsberg's history at your own pace. The visit ends in the Carlsberg Bar, where you will be treated to a perfectly served beer. We recommend setting aside 1.5 hours for the exhibition and 30 minutes to enjoy your well-deserved beer.
To get the complete Carlsberg experience, we recommend visiting the exhibition, followed by a beer tasting.
