At the entrance to Fælledparken, you find the largest museum of the district, the ENIGMA Museum of Post, Tele & Communication, which offers a hands-on, minds-on world of activities for all ages.

Housed in an imposing neoclassical former post office, the museum is home to a rare specimen of the legendary ENIGMA machine, which was used for coding an encryption during WWII.
