What you need to know
- Children's Museum closed until summer 2027 for a rebuild, so plan around the main galleries for now
- No strollers in the exhibitions: borrow a lock, park yours inside the entrance and take one of the museum's strollers around
- Quietest on weekday afternoons, since school classes usually arrive at opening and leave after lunch
About
Denmark's national history museum fills the Prince's Palace with 42,000 objects on display, from a longbow made around 7,000 BCE to the Bronze Age Sun Chariot. Kids can lift a real gold bar, meet a mummy and the Egtved Girl, see the Gundestrup Cauldron that inspired the Asterix and Obelix artist, and find astronaut Andreas Mogensen's spacesuit.
