National Museum of Denmark

The National Museum (Nationalmuseet), a must-visit destination for anybody interested in Danish history and culture, is a short 10-minute stroll along Vestergade from Tivoli. There are some spectacular runic stones on exhibit, and the Danish history collection contains collections of antiquities and coins, a sun chariot (a cult object in the shape of a cart) that is more than 2,000 years old, Romanesque and Gothic church fittings, Danish porcelain, and silver.

The ethnographic collection, which contains Greenlandic artifacts, provides a fascinating glimpse into life among the Inuit. Along with items from the Indian culture, there are also noteworthy collections from Asia, Africa, and Oceania inside. But there's more! The Prince's Palace (1744), a Rococo structure influenced by the French architecture of the time, is located nearby. The Thorvaldsen's Museum, located about five minutes walk from the National Museum, is well worth visiting to see the magnificent creations of this renowned Danish sculptor.
