This museum is fabulous! And free every last Wednesday of the month. There are token machines placed downstairs so you can pay by card and for 20 DKK you'll get a token for the locker. The art collection is very impressive so the history of the place itself. The canteen gets very very crowded so you can wait up to 30-45 mins until you get your food. Even though, the food and cakes are delicious. O...

It is a beautiful place with a lot of interesting and carefully arranged statue exhibition. Starting from ancient Egypt, via Rome and Greek to Danish and Norsk sculptures. We enjoyed the time there and the Wintergarten is very nice as well.

From the very first step into the museum, I was enchanted by its architecture: at first glance, it feels ...

Beautiful museum! I absolutely love when museums are filled with statues and this one was filled with them! The building is stunning as well, with sort of an indoor garden by the entrance and big rooms filled with artwork. There’s also a rooftop which was a surprise and has a stunning view of Copenhagen. The reason why I’m not giving them more stars is because of how rude the staff were in the mu...
