10 Best Museums in Copenhagen

"For an authentic glimpse into everyday life in Copenhagen during the 1950s, visit the Workers Museum, in the Workers Assembly Building. Permanent exhibitions here mine 150 years of industrial history, highlighting the savviness and adaptability of seamstresses, shipyard riveters, and brewery bottlers alike. There's also a preserved 1950s apartment, its furniture reflecting an era of post–World War II upward mobility. There are also replicas of a dairy shop and an electronics shop from that decade. This museum is small and easy to navigate, but you might want to spend most of your time roaming the Sørensen home. This working-class Copenhagen family moved into their eight children into the two-room apartment in 1915, and a second generation stayed there until 1989. Flaunting original varnished pine planks, the home offers a good look at how unskilled laborers lived in the mid-20th-century." - Alia Akkam
