Review:
The National Museum of Denmark is a museum of cultural history featuring the cultural histories of Denmark and the rest of the world. It is located in downtown Copenhagen in the Prince’s Palace. It was built in 1744 for Danish Crown Prince Frederik V and Crown Princess Louise, but is not used any longer by the royal family.
The museum hosts a large ethnographical collection, a collection of Near Eastern and classical antiquities, a collection of coins and medals and a toy museum. Part of the museum is a Victorian apartment Klunkehjemmet, furnished in 1890 and almost unchanged since. Some of the highlights of the exhibition on Danish antiquity are 3,000 years old, such as the Sun Chariot, Egtved Girl from the Bronze Age, and a rare collection of artifacts from the Viking Age.
