"A visit to the Museum of Copenhagen is a journey through the city and its history from the Viking Age to today. The exhibition takes you through 14 key sites with famous squares and buildings that have played a central role in the city’s history. They include the power base on the Castle Island of Slotsholmen, City Hall Square where people have gathered to celebrate and demonstrate since it was built, the Copenhagen homes of the royal family surrounding Amalienborg Palace Square, and the different cultures of the city’s bridge districts.
For each key site, the curators have hunted down the most exciting archaeological finds and historical exhibits to document Copenhagen life – from before the city itself even existed. A well-worn bone comb from the Viking Age, the skeleton of a warrior from the Middle Ages that has survived the blows of swords and axes, and an elegant sedan from the 1700s, the taxi of the day for high-class Copenhageners. There is also an early edition of Copenhageners’ favourite means of transport, a bike – made of wood! "

"If you’re interested in the history of the city of København, make sure you don’t miss out on this one! Like in the National Museum, you can spend a good few hours here before you’ve seen everything. I’d advise against trying to visit both of these museums on the same day, because you’ll be overloaded with information.
The ticket for this museum also covers the entrance fee for two additional museums: Thorvaldsens Museum and the Nikolaj Kunsthal. If you enjoyed the Glypothek and are up for some more sculptures, then Thorvaldsens Museum may be right up your alley."

"You can enter the Museum of Copenhagen for free on Wednesdays - but it can get a little crowded in the afternoons because of this. Anyone under 18 is free every day, and it's a great place to visit once you've spent 1-2 days in the city and can get a feeling for Copenhagen and its layout. The history of the city is fascinating and after you visit the city museum you'll make all kinds of connections just walking around town."
