The National Museum

Here's the answer to: 'Who are the Danes?'
Denmark's National Museum has exhibitions from the Stone Age, the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and Modern Danish History.

A vast museum with a wealth of collections
The museum boasts a very large ethnographical Collections, a Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities, a Coin- and Medal Collection, and a Toy Museum. Also, you can visit a Victorian apartment, practically unchanged since 1890.

Danish Antiquity
After years of reconstruction, the exhibition on Danish Antiquity is re-opened, including prominent national treasures such as the more than 3000 years old Sun Chariot, the Bronze Age Egtved Girl, and an amazing collection of archaeological finds from the Viking Age, many of which have never been shown at the exhibition before.

Another intriguing must-see is the Huldremose Woman, whose well-preserved remains are estimated to date back to the first decade of the first century AD.

Children's Museum
One section, dedicated especially to the very young museum visitor, is The Children's Museum. How was the school of your great grandmother? Try a trip on a viking ship, what was a kitchen like in the Midle Ages? Admire the beautiful colours and feel the smooth silk in the shop from Pakistan.....

Self-guided tours of the museum
With a see-for-yourself-guide in hand, you can tour the museum in an hour. Self-guided tours include 'The History Tour of Denmark', 'The Family Tour', and 'The Tour Around the World'. Be an eyewitness to Danish history and traverse the centuries from the Danish Antiquity, the Viking Age, through Medieval Times to the Present. Cross the continents and explore Greenland's traditions of magic amulets and graceful sleek kayaks.

In July, August, and September there are guided tours in English.
