The Arnamagnæan Institute
Scholars are the main audience for this collection of historic manuscripts from
Scandinavia and Continental Europe. The institute also has a 12,000-volume
reference library.
Botanical Garden &
Museum
A Royal Decree led to the establishment of Copenhagen's botanical garden
and museum more than 400 years ago. Some of the collections date back to the 1700s, when Danish
botanists roamed the Earth in search of unusual specimens.
Copenhagen
City Museum
Eight centuries of Copenhagen history are illustrated via models and other
exhibits that show everything from building models to a cross-section of modern
underground Copenhagen and an archaelogical excavation.
Danish Museum of
Decorative Art
Royal Copenhagen porcelain, Danish furniture and industrial design, glass,
textiles, and East Asian art among the items on display here.
Frilandsmuseet
The Open-Air Museum, which occupies 86 acres or 35 hectares in Copenhagen's
suburbs, has more than 50 farms, mills, and houses from all over Denmark, the
Faroe Islands, and former Danish provinces in Sweden and Germany. It's one of
the world's largest "living history" museums.
Geological
Museum
See minerals, rocks, fossils, meteorites, exhibits related to geological
processes, and antique scientific instruments at the University of Copenhagen.
Kroppedal Museum
This museum of astronomy, modern history, and archaelogy is located outside the
city, but you can get there by S-train and bus.
