LEO MUSEUM COMPANY PROFILE

## From a Copenhagen Apothecary to a Global Pharma Story

LEO Museum tells the story of the people, ideas and events behind LEO Pharma and the LEO Foundation, following the thread from Løve Apoteket in Copenhagen in 1620 to the company and foundation of today.

The museum reopened in new surroundings in August 2026, in a historic building at LEO Pharma’s Danish headquarters in Ballerup. Alongside the exhibition it houses a historical archive and a large collection of documents, photographs, packaging and artefacts.

The museum is run by the LEO Foundation, and a small team registers, describes and looks after the collection day to day. For that work, they rely on Kontainer.

Our collection spans documents, photographs, film, sound and objects, and every single item has to be found, described and looked after. With Kontainer, the artefact, its location, its story and its pictures finally live in one place.

The Challenge

## A Collection That Grows Faster Than the Paperwork

LEO Museum looks after historical and preservation-worthy material of very different kinds: documents, photographs, film and slides, sound recordings, brochures and physical objects. Each item needs its own record, with dimensions, language, country, dates, descriptions and notes, and an exact place on a shelf in the museum’s storage.

The collection now counts close to 10,000 artefacts, and registration is an ongoing job. Keeping records consistent, knowing which items are out on loan, and making sure every photograph stays linked to the right artefact calls for one structured system where the records, the files and the loans are kept together.

The Solution

## A Collection Database Shaped Around the Museum

LEO Museum uses Kontainer PIM as its collection database. Every artefact is a record with an automatically assigned artefact number and a structured set of details: category, language, country, year and decade, dimensions, storage location, descriptions, notes, history, and copyright and GDPR status. Fields such as country, language and shelf are picked from controlled lists, which keeps the data clean and consistent across the whole collection.

Photographs, scans, film and sound live in the Kontainer DAM and are linked to their artefacts, so the files can be found from the record, and the record from the file.

Bulk actions take the effort out of everyday registration, and completeness handling shows which records are still missing details. Automated workflows run quietly in the background: a nightly audit flags artefacts with incomplete data, a daily sync keeps tags such as decade, language and country applied consistently, and a weekday-morning routine takes care of file handling and email notifications.

The Gains

## Loans, Locations and Lists Under One Roof

The collection is now easier to keep in order and easier to put to use. Staff can see where an item is stored and whether it is out on loan, with return and reminder dates kept on the record.

- **Ready-made views:** channels turn the collection into lists for films and slides, sound, photographs, brochures, documents and literature, plus an overview of active loans.

- **Consistent records:** automatic artefact numbers and controlled lists keep registration uniform, whoever does it.

- **Better data quality:** completeness handling and the nightly audit point out what is still missing.

- **One place for records and files:** artefacts and their images stay connected through the artefact number.

The result is a museum collection that is easier to document, easier to find your way around, and ready to share with visitors, researchers and colleagues.
