The exhibitions change all the time so check the information before you go. The rooms guide you through the museum easily. The cafe is amazing as it has glass walls on both sides and makes you feel like being outdoors in the nature. The yard of the museum is large and has some interesting art installations. Good for a Sunday trip/walk. Ideally go there when the weather is nice so you can enjoy the yard. By public transport you need to take the train to klampenborg and then a bus which leaves you just around the corner. Quite easy to find. There is also a closer train station which when reaching with bike takes about 10 minutes to bike to the museum.

The time involved in getting there from Central Copenhagen, the small size and the expense (110 kroner I think) means it's probably not worth it unless you are really into Impressionism and works from the same era.

Like any large museum, it would be impossible to see it all. However, this museum has a LOT to…read moreoffer. It's is mostly a historical museum and covers the time from the earliest relics of the Danes to modern times. The physical museum used to be a castle, and that explains why there are so many rooms, one after another. I recommend looking at the overall map and pick a floor and a place to start, based on what interests you the most. Then, allow yourself to get lost in terms of going from one room to another. There are visual and historical treasures throughout the museum, so it would be nearly impossible to NOT find things of interest. I loved seeing the old crowns, jewelry, and clothing, as well as Viking horns for drinking, old weapons, and the creative way things are presented. I was impressed by this museum because they have used modern museum techniques to display objects and explanations. For example, in one room, they had talking paintings to convey information, or a knight on a horse, which makes horse noises out of the blue. They also have some very creative temporary exhibits, which you should check out. When I was there, there were very interactive displays that were all about money and how wealth is distributed around the world. It was thought provoking, as well as fun. When you need a rest, there is also a cafeteria overlooking the inside of the museum. Face it, you are not going to see it all. There is too much and you won't have the time or stamina to "do it all." But that's OK. It's definitely worth it to buy a ticket ($22 USD) to spend two hours or so, as we did.

We arrived…read morewith our entrance tickets only to be told I could not bring in the seat cushion I have to use anytime I'll be sitting (due to a medical condition). We actually stopped by just for the beautiful cafe to enjoy an afternoon coffee. I was told I would have to leave it in the lobby to enter, which obviously wouldn't work for me for such an occasion. I was not aware of this rule, and the gentleman who'd scanned our passes clearly didn't wish to converse about its purpose...just a no period. After leaving I saw on their website about large bags not being allowed (the cushion isn't large, just a flat square) and that they'll decide which will be allowed inside. While I understand the need for this type of rule, I wish I'd been allowed to explain. My husband told him we were only visiting the cafe, and I tried to show him the cushion and wanted to explain, but was dismissed before I had the opportunity. Most places I've been to seem to accommodate for certain things like this, but unfortunately not here. A shame, I very much wanted to visit.

This place was a bit out of the way of Central Copenhagen (it took us 55 minutes via public…read moretransportation from our Airbnb but we lived south... closer to the airport) but the concept of "one of the largest open air museums in the world" pulled me in. And I wanted to learn more about Denmark and it is touted as a child-friendly place. I brought my two kids ages 4 and 8 plus my adult friend. It is also included on the Copenhagen Card! Essentially, they've rebuilt/restored Danish buildings and houses through history (aside from the mill - the mill is the only building that is in its original spot) all in one spot. They have little workshops where kids can do little crafts and such for an additional fee as well as places to sit and eat throughout the outdoor museum. There is a map (we mostly winged it) and you can walk into the buildings to explore. It did drizzle here and there, but that didn't stop the kids! We went on a Sunday morning and we were the only foreigners there who looked foreign. There were a lot of families there teaching their kids about their own history, though! They do speak English there so no worries. My youngest has multiple food allergies and he couldn't have any of the ice cream they offered there (I got an Equal Eats card for him with everything in Danish, just in case). The employee actually took the card and read through the ingredients list of each ice cream bar one by one. Unfortunately, they all are produced in the same facility so there was a possibility of cross contamination. Thankfully, I brought him food so he didn't starve. I did get myself a hot cocoa (nice and thick, not too sweet, and the homemade whipped cream on top was a good contrast). The kanelsnurrer though? That was great. Fresh from the oven and I must say that Danish cinnamon rolls are superior to what I've had in the US. Sorry. (But not really.) Super fragrant, soft but with slightly crispy edges, and you can actually taste the spices! Towards the end, the kids just played around in the rocks near the Mill and even made friends with some of the Danish kids while the adults took a break! Overall, a good time. They also have an amazing gift shop! We spent a lot more time than expected they're looking at everything. (But they aren't joking when they said it's expensive in Denmark.) Tip: The Classic Car House is right across the street, is included on the CPH Card, and has something for both adults and kids.

We went in with a level of excitement but as soon as we made it underground, and away from the light of the entrance, the mood changed and we were completely immersed within another time and dimension. While the architecture and history alone make the space worth visiting, the current exhibit pulls out from within you, emotions and awareness you may not have ever harnessed. It is truly, truly, something you must see! I had researched the Cisternerne for quite some time prior to our trip, and it lined up perfectly with our morning at the zoo, as it was right across the street. The park above the exhibit is absolutely beautiful, and lends no insight to what lies below it.

For a unique experience while in Copenhagen, book the Cisternerne exhibit boat tour. Here's why:…read more 1) History; First of all, the Cisternerne has an interesting history. Built in the middle of the 19th century, this underground reservoir once supplied the entire city with drinking water. Once abandoned, the space is now an exhibition space. 2) Art: My friend and I went when Tomás Saraceno did his "Event Horizon" exhibit. Rowing a little boat through the exhibit, you're asked to remain silent and be present as you go through the water. You'll pass art that creates light and sound adding to the space's darkness. It's so unique! 3) Location: It's right next to the Frederiksberg Palace, a yellow 1735 palace with gardens that are popular with walkers and runners. Take time before or after the Cisternerne to explore the area. If you go, note that rowing is at your own pace. They recommend 40 minutes, but once you reach the end, you're done! My friend and I felt like we were rowing slowly, but it only took us 20 minutes. We felt like we didn't get the full experience. We wished we had stopped at more spots to sit and enjoy the exhibit.
