About the collection

The collection of items in DieselHouse comes primarily from the old B&W Museum. In addition, Københavns Bymuseum (Museum of Copenhagen) has gathered several items in connection with the building of the new exhibitions in DieselHouse.

Former employees have donated many odd items relating to B&W’s history through time. The many models of ships and engines have travelled around the world on maritime trade fairs.

The collection contains several epochal items from the B&W history, such as the ship’s bell from the first ocean-going motor ship M/S Selandia, the first diesel engine delivered by B&W in 1904 and now, with the move, also the gigantic engine.
