What people say

"Thorvaldsen was a famous Danish sculptor who lived most of his life in Italy. He was the only non-Catholic to build something in Peter's Cathedral in Rome, where he was responsible for Pope Pius the seventh chapel of death. However, he returned to Copenhagen and died here in 1844 - he is also buried in the museum's courtyard. The painting on the side of the exterior of the Museum shows Thorvaldsens return to Copenhagen where he was greeted by many - including Hans Christian Andersen, who is also depicted in the painting. Opening hours: Monday: closed Tuesday to sunday: 10am to 5pm Adult: €12.75 Under 18 yr: free Wednesdays: free Buy your ticket here https://webshop-historieogkunst.kk.dk/entrebillet?___store=en&___from_store=default "

"Don't forget our tips: the reflecting pool outside of the museum is a fantastic photo spot AND you can enter the museum for FREE on Tuesdays - try to visit museums on free days outside of your Copenhagen Card's activation period."
"Dedicated to the work of the internationally acclaimed neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), this beautiful museum is something of a hidden gem."
