Recent History
In 1994 and 1995 the museum conducted excavations at the site of the Greyfriars Friary in central Aalborg. The excavations resulted in the creation of the underground Gråbrødre Museum.
In 2004 several organizations banded together to form the North Jutland Historical Museum. The museum system is administered by a 12 member committee made of members from the constituent organizations which make up the museum. These include: the Museum Society of Hadsund, the Museum Society for Hals Kommune, the Aalborg History Association, the North Jutland Association of Archaeology for Jutland, the Historical Community of Himmerland and Kjaer District, and the Cultural Historic Society of North Jutland.
The umbrella organization coordinates research, outreach programs, educational programs, as well as manages the many properties in North Jutland which have been preserved by the various organizations. The Aalborg Historical Museum has rotating exhibitions from its large collections. It is particularly noted for its fine silver and glass collections.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
