Museum of Copenhagen
About This Museum
People come to the Museum of Copenhagen for the simple pleasure of getting to know the city on a deeper level, tracing its journey from a small Viking fishing village to the vibrant, modern capital it is today. You'll wander through rooms filled with everything from ancient artifacts dug up during metro construction to the original golden spire of the 17th-century Church of Our Saviour. It’s a place that feels both grand and surprisingly intimate, packed with stories of everyday Copenhageners across the centuries. Stepping back outside, you’ll likely find yourself looking at the familiar streets around you with a new, more appreciative eye.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss 'Copenhagen - 1660', a stunning scale model showing the crowded, fortified city in incredible detail; it's an absolute showstopper. You can also see poignant personal items from the great fires of 1728 and 1795, and explore evolving exhibits on modern urban life.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away at Stormgade 18, right by the City Hall and Tivoli Gardens, making it an easy stop on any walking tour. Best of all? Admission is completely free.
Architecture & Building
The collection is beautifully presented inside an elegant, pale yellow neoclassical mansion that feels like a world away from the city bustle.
