National Museum of Denmark Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The predecessor of the National Museum of Denmark was the mansion of a wealthy businessman, and later it became the residence of the Danish crown princes. In 1807, it officially became the National Museum. It houses the collections of the palace treasury since 1650 and historical materials related to Danish culture, and is also the largest museum in Denmark. The 3-story high building displays many antiquities of Danish prehistoric culture, the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, and the daily necessities and precious cultural relics of the Eskimos living in Greenland. There are also ethnic materials from the 18th to 19th centuries, and collection areas of Asian, American, African and other ethnic groups. The first floor is the Danish exhibition area. Among them, the bronze "Dorrent's Sun Carriage" from 1400 BC is a very valuable cultural relic here. It was discovered in 1902 and has precious research value.

You can learn about the history of Denmark, the history of Vikings, and the history and climate of 々 regions around the world. A huge museum.
An amazing collection of artifacts from all over the world! The Viking section was the best, including the remains of the world’s longest Viking ship, an extremely well-done video of the Viking quest to reach Rome, and several rune stones.
The Danish National Museum also collects a lot of ancient art, but many biological skeletons look very shocking, Denmark's ancient history and biological collections are more.
This is definitely one of those museums that you can spend an entire day and only scratch the surface. I can’t comment on cost, as the first time we visited it was free, but the second it didn’t seem to be. But there’s lots to see, and I feel like I learned a lot about the history of Copenhagen and the Danes.
Denmark's national history museum. Free admission, the museum has great exhibits that include Viking history, Stone Age finds, renaissance collections, and more.
A must go museum !!! Exceeded my expectations
This is a really interesting museum, which is all about Denmark's history and culture. Here you can learn about everything from the Vikings to the commune of Christiania, which was started in the 1960s. There's a good gift shop and cafe here.
