Full description

The National Museum of Denmark occupies the Prince’s Mansion, a stately 18th-century building a short walk from Christiansborg Palace. Its galleries trace the country’s past from the first hunter-gatherers to the present, with highlights including prehistoric finds, Viking-age objects and richly furnished historic rooms.

Beyond Danish history, the museum also has collections from around the world and a hands-on children’s museum. It’s a good rainy-day choice and easy to combine with a walk around Slotsholmen and the canals.
