    Horsens State Prison, now transformed into a museum, offers visitors an authentic look into Denmark's penal history. The museum presents a balanced view of life behind bars, showcasing both the harsh realities of imprisonment and the evolution of the Danish correctional system. Visitors can explore the old cells, common areas, and learn about famous inmates and escape attempts. The exhibits effectively illustrate the contrast between historical and modern incarceration practices. While some find the atmosphere oppressive, many appreciate the educational value and the preservation of this important historical site. The museum's guided tours are informative, though some visitors note that not all areas are accessible without a guide. The gift shop and café add to the experience, but aren't standout features. Overall, Horsens State Prison Museum provides an educational and thought-provoking experience, albeit one that may not appeal to all visitors due to its somber subject matter.
