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. We will have to wait for your local museum to register the find and send an official notification. Until then, the object will stay with us at the National Museum, patiently waiting for the paperwork.Do I need to pay admission to visit the National Museum’s shop?
