I have to agree; I am a subscriber and the articles are always exceptionally interesting, often ferreting out information found nowhere else, and put together by the most collegial group of museum people around; and if you don't like Danish, there is often (as here) one in Swedish or Norwegian. Highly recommended. The only problem is that they send notices of a constant string of seminars, meetings, and get-togthers that we would all sell our pet cats to go to.
