Historical museums

A metro system has recently been completed in Copenhagen, and all the digging revealed that the subsurface is still rich in findings that can shed some light on the past.

• The National Museum, 
  See what has been hiding under street level, where our history from ancient times to the present day is also illustrated. The Museum also holds some of the most outstanding archaeological finds ever made in Denmark.

• Copenhagen's City Museum.   
  If you are interested in Copenhagen's expansion from fishing village to modern capital, this is one of the best places.
  
  
• Frilandsmuseet 
  (The Open Air Museum) is where you travel back many centuries in time and experience what life was like in the country. It is an outdoor museum with authentic houses pulled down in their places of origin and rebuilt at the Museum.
  
  
• Frihedsmuseet
  Moving up to modern times, we have, The Museum of the Danish Resistance. It tells the story of the Resistance Movement in Denmark during World War II.
   
• Christiansborg Palace
  Here the legislative, the judicial and the executive powers are united in one building. You will also find the royal reception rooms used for state occasions and official banquets.
