10 Best Museums in Copenhagen

"Copenhagen-bred Bertel Thorvaldsen was one of 19th-century Europe’s greatest artists, making a name for himself in Rome and creating works for the likes of Napoleon and the Pope. Denmark’s oldest museum, founded in 1848, the charming Thorvaldsens Museum has a golden-hued façade that pays tribute to his Neoclassical sculptures, as well as ornate ceilings and mosaic floors. Along with Thorvaldsen’s Greek- and Roman-inspired marble and plaster sculptures are the artist’s sketches, letters, personal objects, and pieces from his own art collection." - Alia Akkam
