MIND Museum, Teglgårdsparken 17, Middelfart, Denmark
About this story
MIND Museum occupies a former patient building at the site of Middelfart’s former psychiatric hospital, which operated from 1888 to 1999. The museum presents the history of psychiatry through objects, exhibitions and personal stories, and addresses contemporary mental-health and wellbeing themes. C.F. Møller was selected as lead consultant for the building conversion; Middelfart Museum’s project account says the aim was to retain as much as possible of the existing building’s character while providing modern exhibition and visitor facilities. The museum also includes a sensory garden. The current MIND Museum site confirms the institution is open, while the supplied Dezeen lead reports completion and describes the museum’s spatial approach.
Status and timeline
Completed and open to the public in 2026. The museum’s current official site lists regular Tuesday–Sunday opening hours; a tourism listing reports that it opened in May 2026.
Design highlights
Adaptive reuse preserves the character of a former hospital patient building while creating contemporary exhibition and visitor facilities. The museum’s interpretation links the site’s institutional history to present-day conversations about mental health; a sensory garden extends the visitor experience outdoors.
