Bangsbo Museum is located in the Bangsbo Forest area in the southwestern part of Frederikshavn, Denmark. The museum is housed in the historic Bangsbo Manor, a site with a rich history dating back to 1364, which has undergone numerous architectural changes and ownership transfers. Today, the museum's buildings have been adapted for exhibition use and feature several distinct collections.

The northern wing of the barn houses the Jutland Resistance Museum, which was extensively redesigned and reopened in 2000. A unique collection of carriages is displayed in the thatched timber-framed barn. The main building's three wings contain exhibitions on urban and local history, including a commoner's room, an Empire-style hall, and a knights' hall used for changing special exhibitions. Notably, the museum holds Northern Europe's largest collection of hair art, showcasing jewelry and other items crafted from human hair.
