The Danish Jewish Museum emphasizes close coordination between its collecting and research functions and its interaction with the public. Therefore the museum’s research projects include active collecting of objects and source materials to illuminate central issues within the museum’s sphere of responsibility.
The collection of the Danish Jewish Museum provides an important basis for new research and the museum receives a growing number of requests from scholars, researchers and students, who wish to access the collection.
It is possible to browse and search the collection records from two on-line databases, known as "Kunstindeks Danmark" (Art Index Denmark) and "Museernes samlinger" (The Collections of Danish Museums). Kunstindeks Danmark is available in an English version, whereas Museernes Samlinger is only available in Danish.
Search the collection at Museernes Samlinger (only in Danish).

The Danish Jewish Museum's research project about the wartime experiences of Danish Jews 1943-1945 has contributed significantly to the collection. Another major research project being undertaken at the museum is entitled 'Jewish entrepreneurs - a case of integration'.
