VILLUM Window Collection was established in 2006 on the initiative of Lars Kann-Rasmussen. The collection is named after his father, civil engineer Villum Kann Rasmussen, who founded the VKR Group in 1941 and developed the first VELUX roof window in 1942.

VILLUM Window Collection houses approximately 300 historical windows that date from the 17th century until today. The exhibition is unique, as it is a comprehensive physical collection of technical, artisanal and historical examples of the development of the window.

It is located in the VKR Group's first headquater at Maskinvej 4 in Søborg, which was inaugurated in 1951. The main building was designed by Danish architect Dan Fink, whereas the workshop areas - the VELKIN halls - behind the building are one of Villum Kann-Rasmussens many inventions. Developed in 1945, the VELKIN hall was the first pre-fabricated modular industrial hall system in Denmark. 

At Maskinvej 4, the workshop areas were used for the manufacturing of VELFAC façade windows, along with other products such as the fittings for VELUX roof windows. The last of the commercial functions moved off of the premises in 2007.
