Thorvaldsens Museum

**★★★★★ Nash — 4 months ago

Wonderful museum with a lot of amazing sculptures and paintings! Find all the cute dogs in all the old paintings, there's a lot of them! Free (within 48 hrs) if you go to the Nikolaj Kunsthal and/or Museum of Copenhagen! If you need to purchase tickets at the counter, there was no wait. Time well spent!

Thorvaldsen left his entire life's work > and his personal collection of paintings and antiquities > to Copenhagen on one condition: that a museum would be built in his honor > nice move )

Yes, the sculpture is cool—but the real star of Thorvaldsens Museum is the building itself. The architecture and interior finishes are absolutely stunning. From the bold, unexpected paint colors to the intricate mosaic floors and rich murals, every detail feels intentional and iconic. It’s a visual feast and genuinely inspiring.

I was also unexpectedly impressed by the permanent archaeological collections—especially the cameo collection, which is the most diverse and beautiful I’ve ever seen. N

Quite big museum, might take around 1-2 hours to see all while enjoying the art without rushing. Kind staff, not only sculptures, but also paintings and some interesting exhibitions. Wasn't on my list, but don't regret going there 🫡

I had longed to see the works of Thorvaldsen and the museum building itself is a masterpiece.

I spent two hours and I think it's right. So unfortunate that in the app of the museum and behind the QR codes there were only Danish comments. At least the three I tried, after that I gave up. That would be a lot better to have the works' explanations also in English.

Other than that I really enjoyed the stay!
