The Prison Van
arrow_backTo the overviewExperience the Prison Museum's prison van
In the big, black Volkswagen, you can see, touch, smell and feel what it's like to sit on a fixed plastic chair in one of the prison van's small yellow cabinets. You can close the door and immerse yourself in the graffiti and greetings written in the cupboard. Or you can get up and look out the small window.
The cell van is from Vestre Fængsel and has been used, among other things, for transport in connection with visits to the court.

The Prison Museum
On a hilltop in Horsens is the old prison. The last prisoners left the prison in 2006, but in 2012 it opened as a museum.
Today, the museum is one of the world's largest prison museums. We convey the history of the prison through exhibitions, tours, children's activities, Virtual Reality, 3D models and more. The Prison Museum extends over 4,500 m2 with exhibitions where you can experience the stories of the prison and the prisoners.
We are open all year round and hold a range of activities in Danish, English and German for both children and adults.
