So...shamefully, I never intended to visit this museum during my visit. My mistake!…read more I happened to be in the general area, wanting to go to a specifically contemporary art museum that was *supposed* to be open but definitely was not. I was cranky about it, but just started heading back towards the city center on foot to see what the world might have in store for me. And what it had in store for me was all of the National Museums! Since I was planning on a museum any way, wanted to snag some WiFi, and it was included with my Copenhagen Card that expired that evening...I mean, why not check it out!? There was a great variety of artistic styles and time periods represented here. So, no matter what kind of art you like, you will find something that you enjoy here. I personally enjoy modern and contemporary art, and since I had been on the hunt for that earlier, that is where I focused my attention. They have a very nice contemporary collection. Visually appealing, colorful, and things I haven't seen before! I really enjoyed everything I got to see, both in the contemporary areas and the rest of the museum. And after wrapping up my art-ing, I got a bite to eat and a very good cup of coffee in the museum restaurant. I had a much nicer time here than I expected to, and should have had this on my must-see list earlier in my visit. Don't make my same mistake!

There is a street food market set up next to it that is probably the coolest part of the museum...and it isn't even part of the museum. The exhibit is small, and the one I saw when I visited was not super varied. The building is home to a good sized shop on the ground floor, which included more clothing for sale than one would expect at a museum. In all, I spent less than 30 minutes here. And I could really have passed this over and been just as happy with my time in the city. Take it or leave it. If you are on a time crunch...definitely leave it.

The gallery itself is quite small, but has very interesting art works. I do not know much about art but I do enjoy looking at it and trying to take it in. The street that it is located at is full of galleries so if you want to go for art hunting rørholmsgade is the place to do so. I think I saw around 8-10 galleries on that street.

This museum is a perfect combination of art- but not just the art inside, but the building itself…read more Inside and out, it is an exhibition with equal level to the statues and exhibits inside. The ceilings especially, with no room the same, are bursting with colorful designs and patterns. Combine this with the floors, which are beautiful mosaics, you get an incredible atmosphere. Moving on from the building itself, the statues are all incredible. With an enormous array of art, it is hard to find something you don't like. Given, some are better than others (obviously), but I can assure you that you'll be able to learn a lot and see a lot walking around the building. Another thing to note is the personal collection of artifacts and books of the artist. It is filled with Greek and Roman pottery, coins, century-old books, and much more. This covers three or four rooms, and this is just as fascinating as the rest.

One of the most interesting museums in Copenhagen, the works of Bertel Thorvaldsen was Danmark's…read morecontribution to neoclassic art. This is an immense museum for sculpture, the colors of the building outside and inside are noteworthy and cool. In brief, neo-classicism which Bertel is famous for, is about bigger than life almost hyberbolic (and romantic) representation of a subject. Don't laugh, that's the simplest I could describe Thorvaldsen's sculptures from what I've learned at the museum. I always wondered why a Scandinavian would be in Italy learning from the masters because you see his work in Roma. It turns out Bertel was very gifted, he won a 'scholarship' of sorts from the monarchy to go to Italy and perfect his art. He came back to Danmark to a heroes welcome after many years of studying in Italy. He was so revered by the monarchy, his museum sits next to the Christianborg palace...... must be nice. I'm not well versed with appreciating sculpture but from a gut level, his works rock and garner many many appreciation points from me. One less star: The free audio tour was on old pseudo iPod lookin' mp3 player on Windows OS, yuch, failed miserably and had to swap it twice. Visits: 2 Tip: If you're in CPH for a couple days, get a Copenhagen card as this is one of the museum freebies. The basement (coat check and lockers) is haunted. I went upstairs and asked and the front desk had very cool and interesting stories to tell about 'sightings''. Bertel is buried in the courtyard and you can look out from the first floor.

Of the several museums and historical sites I saw in Copenhagen, I think Amalianborg Museum is one…read moreof the best. The entrance is right off the first building closest to Frederik's Church. You walk down the steps and through the gift shop to store your bags and coats in free lockers. There are several rooms where you see artifacts and documents. They're set up as if real scenes. And some of the artifacts are interesting, like the Danish palace as, the silver champagne boat, and the golden egg with hen. Several floors to walk through. It got very busy as the day went on. A couple of school field trips too.

It consists of four identical classical palace facades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Danish: Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the center of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V. You can see the changing of the guards ceremony daily around 12pm. The guards march from Rosenborg Castle at 11:30am through the streets of Copenhagen to Amalienborg. Guard post replacements are a conducted every 2 hours. The ceremony is pretty cool and they change the guards at every post in the courtyard. If you don't get a chance to see the changing of the guards ceremony, you can watch it on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/sT-YTRTawco I do not believe you can tour Amalienborg Palace, but they do have a museum that is open to tour for an entrance fee. The museum is not that great, but it has some nice exhibits and history. I cannot remember how much it costs for entry to the Amalienborg Museum, but if you plan on visiting a few attractions and plan on riding the public transportation (buses, train, light rail), then you can save a lot of money by purchasing the Copenhagen Card!!!

Wow!!! Rundetaarn is on the Top Ten must see list when in Copenhagen. What makes " Round Tower" so…read morespecial and intriguing? I'm glad you asked... With its distinctive spiral ramp, the Round Tower has become a Danish landmark. Here are some notable facts and points of interest: 1.The Hollow Core: the shape of the tower was Denmark's geographical zero point. 2. There is an Observatory which houses a telescope built in 1929. 3. The Library Hall is used for changing exhibits, cultural events and concerts 4. The Spiral Ramp will get you to 10,000 steps easily; it is the only way to the top of the tower and spins 7 1/2 times around the Tower's hollow core. Believe me, you feel those twists as you climb. 5. The Bell Loft is situated above the Library Hall and two floors above the Trinity Church where the bells have rung for hundreds of years. 6. The Platform: once you climb the narrow stairs you are atop and can see all of Copenhagen's charms and Sweden. During the summer there is a kiosk that sells sweet treats 7. The Planetarium: shows the solar system I highly recommend visiting Rundetaarn. It is located in Norreport; beautiful shops and restaurants. Polse: best hot dogs are served in this truck outside tower Rundetaarn is located on: Kobmagergarde 52 A 1150 København K Denmark Check out Rundetaarn.dk for more info
