Historian and opera lover.
Interesting in the connection between cultural- and business history. Involved in seven years of provenience research chasing an 18th century painting trough time.
My book on Børsen - the old (and now burned down Danish stock exchange from 1624🔥🔥) - is nominated for the prize History Book of the Year Award 2024!!
🎉🎉

It would be great if Børsen could win. But it requires a vote:

We had an alliance! We had a deal!

International agreements, trust and institutions are all that stands between us and the disintegration of a liberal, democratic world order!

I’ve had time to read Danish historian Bent Blüdnikow’s book on two Jewish merchants and diplomats from the 18th century. Really a spectacular account of early modern international networks. From Morocco to Copenhagen. It’s fantastic but based on solid historical method.

For all my Danish speaking colleagues and people interested in (cooperate) capitalism I can highly recommend the new and final volume on the history of Danish capitalism by @jeppenevers and Per Boje. It’s a magnificent account of how Denmark became prosperous.

🗃️ Today, I gave a talk at the Danish Central Bank on their banknote designs through history. We talked about the tension between conservative values and mundane everyday motifs depicted on Danish notes.

A good six months ago the Danish Stock Exchange from 1624 went up in flames. For me, the fire marked the start of a disseminated frenzy. Suddenly everybody needed an 18th and 19th business- and cultural historian. Wired experience. History matters! At least the fire made that clear. #history #bushiz

A brief but jolly piece on the highs and lows of being historical consultant to a huge hit movie/show. I’m lucky to have had extremely good experiences on my projects, often consultants are just ignored. However, I’ve never done big budget stuff

When historians and directors clash: ‘Ridley Scott was Napoleonic – there was no doubt who was in charge’
Film and TV have a slippery relationship with the truth when it comes to historical epics. So spare a thought for the historical experts whose advice often goes unheeded

I’ve spent most of the past two years working on a history of the now-burned Danish Stock Exchange, Børsen, which dates back to 1624. With the book out, I thought it fitting to share this first post with a nice Børsen-drawing.
