Because of our budget we had to choice between this museum and Carlsberg and we chose this one and regret nothing. I think the price is low for what the museum offers. It’s very huge and you need at least 3 hours to see everything. The museum it’s interactive and the new exhibition about Vikings it’s the most interesting part. Also there is a game about how money works and it’s fun and interactive. We learned a lot of history and had a lot of fun. Good place for a rainy day but also a must see when in Copenhagen!!

Lots of excellent exhibits. Considering I previously had almost no knowledge of Danish history, I came out feeling like I had absorbed a smattering of the featured time periods and built up an overall picture. The Empire section was particularly informative. The only part that I found rather unenjoyable was the prehistory exhibit on the ground floor - mainly because it was so busy. Presumably this is because everyone is recommended to start there, and only those who are really interested in history then make their way upstairs.

Definitely worth a visit and not exceptionally large in size to get around, there is a wealth of history from BC times right up to the present day which is all very well stocked and comprehensive. There is, from a subjective view, possibly too much to see and take in with all the various subjects on offer. 90 minutes sufficed for this visitor although you could easily spend 3--4 hours to investigate each and every display cabinet on show. Overall, pleased to have opted to visit.

This is a great museum with lots of information about Denmark’s history. We didn’t have time to go through the whole museum (I’m guessing that would take an entire day) but we really enjoyed the exhibits that we saw. All the information on exhibits is in Danish and English.

The national museum of Denmark had a lot of artifacts and pieces of history from many places. It wasn’t focused on Denmarks history only, making it quite confusing for us visitors. I wish the layout of the museum was more organized and easy to walk through and understand what’s happening in each section. To fully understand what’s going on in the museum you may need to spend 3-4 hours.

As always, a brilliant visit, we came to see the Viking exhibition as we have seen all of the previous ones (and walked around) The musuem is very clean and fresh, the displays are wonderful with how the lighting is and really makes the artifacts details come through! The museum is in Danish and English which is handy as my Danish is hit and miss The staff were also wonderful and the gift shop is very well priced! I came back even to purchase a book that is not that easy to buy online so was very happy! The Viking exhibition as always is amazing! Unfortunately we did not get the headsets so we later YT'ed the artwork and meaning, fantastic! I definitely recommend a visit here and it is my favourite musuem I have been to!

I briefly visited the museum’s Viking exhibit 10 years ago and wanted to return after hearing about the expansion of their collection, housed in the Viking Sorceress exhibit. The exhibit was excellent, including an immersive introduction to Viking mythology as well as touchscreens in Danish and English for all of the objects in the exhibit (similar to the Viking exhibit in Stockholm’s National History Museum.) What I wasn’t expecting to find was an expansive collection of medieval Scandinavian religious art, items covering Denmarks’s history from 1600-2000, and artefacts from all over the world. I was particularly impressed by the collection of Etruscan and Phoenician art (both of which are somewhat rare to find) housed near the extensive Egyptian, Greek, and Roman collections. Although I lived in Asia, there were items on display that I had never seen before, including a rack designed to infuse a kimono with the scent of incense. There are also lots of items from Africa and the Pacific Islands near Australia. I spent two full days here exploring the entire collection. It is that good.

Central and easy to access on foot. Large spacious museum with many levels set around a main open area. We visited at lunch time on a Saturday using a city pass so our entry was included in that. They had 'vikings' in the main hall doing activities and demonstrations. Really enjoyed the exhibition about their local findings (metal detector finds) was super interesting and showed some amazing finds! Made more interesting by knowing about the item and the find. Great gift shop (we didn't see a cafe) but had lockers and free toilets.

This is a huge museum with a vast amount to choose to see. Useful maps are provided to help decision making and restaurant facilities are available to take a break and refreshments. We were quite selective in what we saw as otherwise we could have been there most of the day. What we saw was very interesting and highly educational.

The museum proved confusing to navigate, probably because it was formed from two old buildings, giving it galleries that had some surprising juxtapositions. Primarily an historical museum, it contained some interesting exhibits, such as the interior of an early 17h Century merchant’s middle class house (all one room). The most striking part was the gallery devoted to doll houses, fully furnished and lit and displayed so that one could appreciate the details of the interiors. The high point was our lunch at the museum’s café, Sm/ö/r, which can be accessed without buying a museum ticket. We each had smorsbrod, traditional open-faced sandwiches piled with a pleasing, and at times surprising, variety of ingredients on thin slices of bread something like pumpernickel – for example, curried chicken salad topped with chanterelle mushrooms, tiny cubes of what may have been celery root, radish, raisins and arugula. The selection of beers and wines was substantial and included drafts from local craft breweries. I had a wheat been with a hint of raspberry.
