Arken
By far the districts greatest attraction, and because of its location, rather undiscovered, even though it is one of Copenhagen's top museums. The striking building, located in dunes right next to the sea, was erected by architect Søren Robert Lund in 1996, and resembles a beached ship, the building has actually been criticized for drawing attention away from the art is houses. The temporary exhibitions is actually often the main attraction here, but the permanent collection includes many important mainly Scandinavian modern works. Also has a concert hall, cinema, sculpture courtyard and a restaurant.
Greve Museum
Various exhibitions relating to rural history, and the history of the 200 years old farmhouse the museum in housed in. Also hosts various temporary exhibitions. There is a small café and a shop on the premises, and a lovely garden to enjoy a small picnic.
Heerup Museum
Henry Heerup 1907-1993 was a popular Danish painter, with close ties to the avant garde movement, although his work is often described as timeless, colourful and Childish. He received recognition outside Denmark, and has work exhibited on e.g. MOMA in New York and the Carnegie Institute. The museums collection was large donated by his widow, after his death.
Kroppedal
A good museum, if a but out of the way, but in some beautiful surroundings by a small river valley. The museum has various stationary and changing exhibitions on astronomy, archaeology and modern history.
Thorsbro Vandværk

vestvolden
Vestvolden (http://www.vestvolden.inf...) is a series offortification cutting a though the western suburbs for 14,5 kilometresfrom the sea to the Utterlev mose area onNørrebro. At the time of construction in the1890s it was one of the largest fortification works in the world,and today it is one of the best preserved, protected through its entirelength. While parts have been restored to its former glory, the reallyinteresting parts is the untouched part, overgrown part, with oldbarracks, ammunition depots etc. hidden away behind trees andbushes. The most easiest entry point is taking an S-train toBrøndbyøster station on the B line. Can easily be combined with avisit to Filmbyen, since it is housed on a garrison which was part of the Vestvolden defences.
Filmbyen
Historiens hus

Cirkusmuseet

Filmbyen The Movie city (http://www.avedoerelejren.dk) , also known as Avedørelejren, is an old army garrison erected in 1913. When the army moved out of the area in the 1990s, it was taken over by the municipality, and the famous Zentropa studios home of Lars von Trier and much of the Dogme movement as well as several smaller studios and production companies moved into the historic buildings. Today, apart from being something of a creative powerhouse, the scenic area has been beefed up by some rather funky new architecture mixing in with history, and also houses some cultural attractions listed below. There is also a hostel Belægningen and a restaurant Messen on the premises, which are listed in the appropriate sections below. To get here catch bus 133 from Avedøre station on the S-tog A line, Bus 1A from down town also stops quite close by at the Avedøre skole stop.
