National Museum (Copenhagen)

Like so many of Denmark's museums, the National Museum contains beautifully presented exhibits. The extensive ethnographic and antiquities collections detail Danish history from prehistoric to modern times, and include fascinating exhibits of Viking life.;

Many of the items on display come from the Danish isles, such as items of jewelry, bones, and even several bodies found preserved in peat bogs, as well as imposing rune stones with inscriptions dating from around AD 1000. There is also a children's museum and a host of educational activities all housed in the restored 18th century royal residence. Close by, and part of the museum, is a Danish home with authentic interiors from the 1890!s, complete with decorated panels and carvings, a profusion of paintings, and elaborately carved furniture.
