Hi
After 34 years of being brand loyal, I am getting to goto Struer with a friend to see the Museum - just wondering if it is better to drive there or get a train and roughly how long each way takes?
Well, that depends on where you live!

Ahh yes - forgot that bit - will be travelling from Copenhagen!
It's a long way from here, I'm very jealous

My gosh - it must be very popular!

Try this website. It gives you train and bus schedules across the country. That's the cheapest way. About 4 hours each way.
Are you planning a trip for just one day?
Then train would be the best possibility - look out for the 'orange ticket' to save money.
If you want to spend a couple of days in the area, you should prefer hiring a car.
In that case drop by at 'Den glade Pingvin' for a couple of beers 🍻
And/or go watch a movie - the cinema in Struer is one of the three cinemas in DK with Dolby Atmos sound.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Definitely the best way to go -

Very friendly people!
We lived there on the legendary Beoworld-Tour 2007.
Peter: Definitely the best way to go -

Simonbeo: Peter: Definitely the best way to go - A Phaeton Coupe !
Looks more like a Bentley Continental GT.
Dennis:Looks more like a Bentley Continental GT. /Dennis
I'm not sure if Simonbeo was joking - or...
But anyway... Volkswagen owns Bentley - so somebody might call it a Phaeton coupé... 😁

A lot of underpinnings from the Dresden VW plant make their way to Crewe . A bit like B&O tv panels really.

Yes - but don't tell a man, that his Beovision looks like a Samsung or Panasonic
And certainly don't tell a man that his Bentley is a VW.
So a car if you have a couple of days, and take the time to visit:
BeoNut since '75
elephant:Arhus - for all the things that a university town has
The ARoS art museum in Aarhus is really something you must see
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
ajames - better reserve a week for the trip to Struer
Søren Mexico: elephant:Arhus - for all the things that a university town has The ARoS art museum in Aarhus is really something you must see
we did not allow enough time (an afternoon) to fully appreciate it.
Thanks everyone, really looking forward to next week, my neighbour that is going with me will only allow a day at the museuem - and that's the first day we get there - so will have to plan a revisit - at least she's a B&O fan too!
Must be nice to have a 'she-neighbour', who is a B&O fan

elephant:If she were a B&O fan she would stay two days
+1
I dont think we appreciated how much stuff there would be too see - so one day at Struer, two days in Copenhagen - half a day at the store and then onto Malmo and Ystad - to see the Wallander stuff - she is a big fan of all things Nordic. Useful to have a she neighbour as she buys all my old B&O stuff off me!
ajames:then onto Malmo and Ystad - to see the Wallander stuff
I wanted to go to Ysted too - for exactly the same reason !
If she is a fan of Camilla Läckberg's novels you should go to Fjällbacka (West coast os Sweden as well)

I visited Denmark last week and Struer on thursday. For the first time and it was very interesting.
I've seen the (new) museum, the factory (only from the outside ), the estate "Quistrup" from a small distance where it all started and the centre with harbour.
A few kilometers further you'll find the B&O dealer of Bremdal. The owner is a very kind man who specially opened his second (life) store with lots of B&O. I think he has the largest collection of Beolits.
Another thing/tip about the museum.
All the text written on the displays next to the items (through the whole museum) is in danish. A fellow dutch member (of Beofriends and living there for 10+ years) translated the most for us. That made it more interresting.
So a tip for the museum, translate/duplicate all the text in english. The small booklet with text and photos (which was handed for temporarily use) could be a bestseller for tourists.
BTW, the walking distance from the railway station to the museum is only a few minutes.
Peter the Biker:There is another way to get to Struer as I did it two years ago
I can confirm that.
I rode there a couple of months ago on the bad boy you see on the picture below. I was going home to my grandparents which took me through Struer. They live about 15 km from Struer and I 45 km, so it was a good 60 km trip with only one gear. Luckily I had tailwind, so it only took me 3 hours to cover the 60 km including breaks.
