This museum is one of the lesser known in Copenhagen. Really, it is a secret pearl, containing a fairly big and definately very good collection of Middle Eastern / Arabic items. On the 2nd floor is good collection of Danish paintings, predominantly from the first half of the 20th century. Definately worth a visit!

We took in both the permanent and temporary (Flora Islamica) exhibitions. Having enjoyed London's V&A museum islamic art collection....I can safely say this TOTALLY OUTSHINES... More

Set in an immaculately maintained, beautiful building, the David Collection is an interesting diversion in the centre of Copenhagen. Having little knowledge of Islam or its art, I found the history of the Islamic people written in English on panels in each room fascinating.
