Walking along the cozy streets and embankments, you will find museums that tell about maritime traditions, national culture and the most daring experiments of modern art.

The focus is on a variety of museums: the Guinness World Records Museo surprises with collections of records and rare artifacts, and the famous Madame Tussauds wax museum allows you to meet historical and modern characters face to face. The National Museum of Denmark is housed in a palace building and offers an in-depth understanding of the country’s cultural history; the Bertel Thorvaldsen Museum houses a complete collection of works by the famous sculptor. The Statens Museum for Kunst and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts display masterpieces of European and Danish painting and sculpture, while the Museum of the Danish Resistance is dedicated to the heroic pages of World War II and houses rare documents and exhibits of the time. In the thematic area, the city is not far behind: The Museum of Postal and Television traces the development of communications from the seventeenth century, and the Museum of Eroticism offers an unusual curatorial look at the history of intimate collections. Slightly aside, in the town of Humlebek, 35 kilometers north of Copenhagen, is the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, a place with an impressive collection of modern art, a sculpture park and sea views that often becomes a key point of museum routes around the capital.
The museum life of Copenhagen is active and diverse: temporary projects and imported exhibitions from European collections are regularly held in the exhibition halls, and modern museums organize thematic retrospectives and performances. The Humlebek Contemporary Art Institution regularly changes major international exhibitions, and national museums show historical projects dedicated to memorable dates. Tourings, temporary installations and seasonal programs make the city attractive for those who plan excursions along museum routes at different times of the year.
Come to Copenhagen to see with your own eyes and make your own itinerary through the best museums.

Book an excursion and head for the discoveries - the museums of Copenhagen are ready to surprise.
