Copenhagen Museums

(Copenhagen, Denmark)

There are many quality museums within the Danish city of Copenhagen and a number of these are especially family orientated. These include the Louis Tussauds Voksmuseum (Louis Tussauds Wax Museum) in the Vesterbro area of Copenhagen, where lifelike waxwork models of Danish politicians and international movie stars stand alongside royalty and fairytale characters.

The Nationalmuseet (Copenhagen National Museum) is one of Europe's oldest museums and actually dates back over 200 years. Here you can discover themed areas, such as Prehistoric Denmark, the Middle Ages and also the famous Viking Age. Nearby, the Kobenhavns Bymuseum (Copenhagen City Museum) is also of interest and features everything that you could possibly wish to know about the history of the city.


The Experimentarium is amongst Copenhagen's best museums for children and offers the chance to carry out your very own experiments and participate in a range of science-based activities.

It is also possible to explore one of the biggest brewing companies in existence at the Carlsberg Museet (Carlsberg Museum), in the Valby area of Copenhagen, where the headquarters for this famous company are based. There are sections concentrating on the brewing process and of course, the chance to taste the actual produce itself.
