Day 3 - Copenhagen National Museum


The National Museum (http://natmus.dk/en/start/ ) is Denmark’s largest museum of cultural history.  It is also free to the public. The museum's main domicile is a classical 18th century mansion just a stone's throw from "Strøget" at the center of Copenhagen. The National Museum is the museum for all Denmark, where you can follow the history of the Danes right down to the present day. It is a wonderful museum and a must-do on your visit to Copenhagen.


The museum is filled with artifacts from the Stone Age to more modern times. It is a fascinating collection of beautiful items. Most of the items were preserved in the bogs including several humans.
