Highly recommend a trip to the National Museum. It's big, much bigger than we expected. We only saw the Danish prehistory, Iron Age, Middle Ages, and Renaissance exhibits: we were in Denmark, might as well check out the relics unique to the history of Denmark. That alone took over 2 hours. The exhibits were very interesting: lots of artifacts, including... more

Too big for a one-days visit. So choose which exhibitions you want to see. The chlidrens section is fun because you can touch thing etc. more

Danes are proud ouf their history and this museum with a lavish historical collection is here to get you to learn why!

The Ethnographical Collection... more

We just went to the National Museum. We went on a Wednesday, so it was free. We were awed by the extensive collections of so many eras. When my two boys (ages 4 and 5) had seen all they could handle, we took them to the children's museum in the basement, where they had a BLAST! The dressed up like... more

If you love museums then don't miss this one! It is one of the best laid out history museums I have ever been to and I am a museum addict. The collection is extensive but not overwhelming and the informative signs (written in English among other languages) are actually interesting to read. The stone tool and viking exhibits as well... more
