Immerse yourself in a wide variaty of cultural, historical and natural phenomena, unique to the Rebild area and the Rold forest. Discover how the landscape was formed and how the natural springs in the area contributed to a large and endangered bat-population. Or go ahead and investigate our large exhibition about the Cold War and our nextdoor neighbor: the royal bunker REGAN Vest. And don't forget to visit the beautiful Thingbæk limestone mine, filled to the brim with sculptures and artwork of two Danish artists, Carl Johan Bonnesen and Anders Bundgaard. The mines makes for a unique combination of fine art and underground rock formations.
WHAT TO EXPECT
EXHIBITIONS
The Center is divided into 2 primary exhibitions, the mines and different temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibitions and the mines can be seen during all opening hours.
THE COLD WAR EXHIBITION
Explore 700 square meters of military equipment, information about the royal bunker, REGAN Vest and realia from the 1950's to the 80’s. Learn more about how the mysteries of spies and military actions were intertwined with the private life of those who worked in the royal bunker, and enjoy visiting (or revisit) the livingroom, the technology and the thoughts from the Cold War.
THE EXHIBITION: SPRINGS OF LIFE
The area around Rebild, specifically around the valley of Gravlev, is full of natural springs, lakes and creeks. Combined with limestone in the underground and a landscape created by the latest Ice Age, it has become the home of unique flora and astonishing fauna. In the exhibition, “Springs of life”, we zoom in on the many effects the springs have had throughout history and continue to have today.
THINGBÆK LIMESTONE MINES
The limestone mines are the very foundation for Rebildcentret. Back in 1935, when Anders Bundgaard opened the first art exhibition, the limestone mine were still in use for industrial mining. Side by side with the mining, Bundgaard displayed his sculptures and carved a relief into the wall of a mines shaft. Today, almost 100 years after the mine first opened, the vaulted galleries of the mines are filled with art by Anders Bundgaard and Cal Johan Bonnesen. When visiting the sculptures, you're accompanied by small bats and you’re surrounded by limestone walls that showcase the geological history of Denmark.
