Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Mara B — 3 weeks ago

Add this to the list of museums that a certain American politician hasn't visited. Very informative. I enjoyed the miniature battle scenes & info on Denmark's involvement in the middle east.

**★★★★★ A. Thibodeaux — a month ago

Really solid museum focused on Danish military history. The exhibits are clear, well laid out (especially the first floor with the timeline of equipment and uniforms) and with lots of original weapons, uniforms, and equipment, all housed in the old arsenal building which adds to the atmosphere. Easy to walk through at your own pace, informative without being overwhelming. Worth a visit if you’re interested in history or want a quieter, thoughtful museum experience in Copenhagen. Was cool to see

**★★★★★ Guy Harris — a month ago

One of the best museums I have been to for a long time. So many great and interesting exhibits. Stories very well told in Danish and English, the staff were lovely as well. The second floor of the museum is massive! You can spend as much time as you wish looking and reading about everything in detail. I would highly recommend this museum to any individuals and it would also be great for families because of the interactive displays

**★★★★★ RRRudzitis — a month ago

Great exhabitions. A lot of modern war stuff on ground floor and at the end of the main floor. Some areas allowed to wear costumes, sleep in hammock etc. Great and interactive. About hour for a quick walk through, though if you wish to actually read and learn I would say it would take about 2 hours.

I absolutely loved my visit to the War Museum in Copenhagen! There is so much to see and explore – I spent several hours walking through the exhibitions, and still feel like I could easily come back for more. The museum is housed in a beautiful and historic building that once served as the Royal Danish Arsenal (Tøjhuset), dating back to the early 1600s. Walking through its vaulted halls really adds to the atmosphere — it feels like you're stepping into history.

The exhibits span centuries of Da
