The Bert Bolle Barometer

The Denmark Visitor Centre has lost its world’s largest barometer. Differences of opinion with the Board of Denmark Tourism Incorporated (DTI) and the management of the Denmark Visitor Centre about promoting and signposting the water barometer in the Barometer Tower in the Denmark Visitor Centre lay at the bottom of an ongoing conflict, which resulted in our departure after we asked for the barometer to be given back to us. The Barometer Tower was dismantled mid February 2011.

The Barometer Tower is empty now, but lots of visitors still come to see the barometer. Many of these visitors are unaware of the removal of the world’s largest barometer and numerous complaints are pouring in at the counter of the Visitor Centre.

Negotiations about a new location for the barometer are in an advanced phase.
