At Nyvang’s radio shop, Østervænget’s Radioforretning, you can see radios from the period 1940-1950, as well as some from the 1920s and 1930s.
The store showcases radios, gramophones, TVs, tape and wire recorders, and other equipment that reflects the sound and information culture of the time. Many of the radios are functional, and the price tags show both the prices from that era and how the devices were used. You can also listen to music from the time. In the workshop, radios are repaired using period-appropriate testing equipment.
After the launch of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (Statsradiofonien) in 1925, radios began to make their way into Danish homes, leading to prosperous times for many small radio factories in Denmark. In the 1940s, the radio became an essential gathering point for the public, providing news about the war and the popular music of the era. The radio was so beloved that, despite the introduction of more electrical household appliances in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Danish families primarily chose to invest in a radio.
