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

Not far from the NSK state art gallery is this small but informative and highly atmospheric museum. The banquet Hall with its trade union banners is particularly impressive. Good overview of the Danish labour movement and many relevant exhibits. Recommended for anyone who is interested in the modern history of Denmark.

I was lucky to got to visit the temporary exhibition on women workers, the exhibition and visiting routes were very well designed, and everything was translated. The museum staff were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly ✨ I love how the history is constructed around ordinary individuals’ life stories instead of staying at the macro level or centred around a few famous figures. And the interactive space for children at the ground floor area was truly inspiring - Should our younger generations start learning about the working class struggles and the remaining inequities? Absolutely !!

I was interested about this museum from the photos I’ve seen online with the grand banquet hall and the reproductions of interior of workers house. I visited during the week so it was very quiet and not busy at all which was a good thing. I’m a bit biased by my visit however. It was interesting but needed to be a bit more interactive as it was a bit difficult to understand with all the signs with long explanations. Some of the things were very nice like the banquet hall or the old street with older shops. It was very well made! I think some improvements could be made to make the experience better and help those who don’t speak danish understand better.

Very cool building. The banquet hall was incredible. Amazing history on the workers rights movement in Denmark and across Europe.

A fascinating dive into Denmark’s working class history. The exhibits are super engaging, showing how life was for workers and their families over the years. From recreated apartments to union meeting rooms, everything feels authentic and personal. The cafe adds a nice nostalgic touch with traditional Danish dishes.

I recently visited an intriguing museum that delves into the world of Danish workers and their role in the country's culture. While the majority of the exhibits were in Danish, it took a bit of searching to locate the English translations. By the way, don't miss out on the "workers food" buffets on the lower level (-1); they are quite delightful!

One of my favourite museums I've ever visited. Completely immersive and fascinating exploration not only of the history of the labour movement, but also an intimate and touching story of ordinary Danish lives through history. Would recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen as a must see to understand Denmark as a country.

Impressively well-organized, with exhibits laid out in a clear and engaging way that makes exploring the history both easy and immersive. I especially enjoyed the interactive sections, which bring the past to life and make the stories of everyday workers feel personal and relatable.
