In 1995 the water tower in Tønder underwent a radical reconstruction and converted into an exhibition tower in which to display  some of Hans J. Wegner’s best known chairs. The conversion of the tower into a museum was made possible through the support and a grant from the A. P. Møller fund. The Tower was inaugurated by Denmark’s  Queen Ingrid and opened to the public, 12 August 1995.
