  • Start with your local museum. That's where your find belongs first. The local museum is the one who will receive the object and contact the National Museum on your behalf. If you still deliver it directly to the National Museum, we will contact the local museum, and this may delay the assessment of whether your find is Danefæ.

Until then, the object will stay with us at the National Museum, patiently waiting for the paperwork.
