Den er med sin diameter på 240 m og en ringvold på lidt under en kilometers længde Danmarks største borg fra vikingetiden. Inden for borgen har ligget ikke mindre end 12 bygningskarréer med fire store langhuse i hver. Ved kirken er en lille udstilling med de nyeste resultater fra undersøgelserne ved Aggersborg. Amalienborg og Amalienborg er det kongelige residensslot i København og kendetegnet ved sin elegante København Amalienborg Frederiksstaden ottekantede plads med Salys rytterstatue af Frederik d. 5, og de fire elegante rokokopalæer rundt om pladsen tegnet af Nicolai Eigtved. Amalienborg ligger i Frederiksstaden, der regnes for den fornemste bydel i København. Frederiksstaden blev anlagt i midten af 1700-tallet som en fejring af det oldenborgske kongehus’ 300 års jubilæum. Bydelen er stramt opbygget over to vinkelrette gader, Amaliegade og Frederiksgade, med Amalienborg Slot og Frederikskirken som de dominerende bygningsanlæg i tværaksen. AQUA Akvarium & Dyrepark Der er tale om Nordeuropas største ferskvandsakvarium, der med en høj grad af pædagogisk Silkeborg formidling fortæller om fiske- og dyrelivet i de danske ferske vande. En hovedattraktion er akvariets bestand af bævere og oddere.

In this text the background, aims, hypothesis and organization are presented. Keywords: Museum communication, citizen engagement, collaboratory research between university and museums. Museums have always interacted with the world Museums’ own research priorities are still chiefly around them. Yet, it seems as if the scale and related to the substance of collections – be they scope of interaction has increased in the past art history or astronomy, archaeology, biology two decades.

An interest in audiences is chiefly of museums online is an indication of this expressed in surveys on visitor throughput, development: an expansion of user-focused marketing efficacy or simple analytics of the museum communication that is often policy-led number of online clicks. A similar situation is and the visibility of museums in environments seen in museology departments and programs beyond the museum walls. The number of at universities. While museology and heritage museums have doubled worldwide 1992–2012 studies have become established features of (Temples 2013), and the new institutions are many universities, they develop remarkably often heralded as beacons of tourism and as little sustained research on the ways in which levers of local and regional cultural economies actual and potential audiences communicate (Falk & Sheppard 2006).
