Damernas Värld Review

A lot of things to see, from ancient times to contemporary culture. It definitely requires at least three hasteless visits to check out all exibititions.
Do not miss a chance to experience a piece of Japan modern culture and make a photo in a purikura photo booth

Fantastic museum with descriptions in Danish and English.

A place where history and culture come together. Learn about the great history of the Danish people, the Scandinavian culture and the Vikings.

The foyer is the best. The cafe looked nice but closed already at 16. Many boring glass fittings. No nudging that can tell direction so it became a messy half-hearted affair.

The exhibitions are good, but not always well curated. Very often you get a sense that things haven't been touched since the 90s.

Very modest in content although very well-kept and welcoming

A pearl of Danish culture, the evolution from the era of vinkings through the ages of stone, bronze and metal. With interactive material and videos that guide us through almost 100 showrooms.
An adventure not to be missed,
I recommend!

One of the best museums in the world showing Scandinavian history. Wish I had more than 3 hours to see everything.

Childrens museum here was absolutely fantastic, they can touch & play with everything. My boys loved dressing up as Vikings and playing, such a great way to teach history to our children!

It's a little bit overwhelmed they have to much things

Pro tip: use the toilets on the upper floors. Those at ground level are really gross.

Great museum
Particularly enjoyed the Viking section the Mongol section and the treasures on the 2nd floor. Even if tired worth getting there!
Took us 3 hours to view 90%.

Very good kids museum with many activities and knowledge learning about Vikings

You will discover Danish history and much more. A bit distracting in some places but it's worth a look.

Beautiful museum, the Vikings section is impressive. It is really worth going.

Very exciting and great exhibitions. Child friendly even if you have small children. :)

Interesting, but it requires a certain amount of patience

A very interesting place. Highly recommend for children. It is informative and kids enjoy it. It has a lot of different areas which it covers and the artifacts are well kept. I am so glad that my kids enjoyed it throughly and their excitement will last for long.

Very nice and big museum. Free luggage storage for the time in museum.

Along the river bank, I recommend a boat ride through the canals

Very nice,and big place.never thought I will like a museum... don't leave it out if you visit Copenhagen

Probably the best museum in town. From what one has to visit, with many thematic sections, unfortunately we did not have much time, as it takes more than 3 hours to dedicate to enjoy each section separately. I will definitely visit it again in the future

Lots of history here. Nicely arranged and with good flow. Not super crowded.

Was there on 27-11-20 with my oldest daughter.
It was a great experience, it was so beautiful.Have been there quite a few years ago. What a wonderful shop, with many fine things and books.
Just got Rane Willerslev's book on expeditions.
Will be back soon.

95 DKK-14 Euros for a Kindergarten with added museum.Explanations barely readable because placed in corridors with permanently children running around(maybe just danish understand why its necessary to go into museums with absolutely not interested small children).Even the sun charriot-hall doesnt allow to read explanations because of insane light concept.Coronated by dirty toilets. Wasted time and money if comparing with the same museum in Stockholm.

It is a very large museum, covering a bit of everything. The most interesting section is the history section, as it allows you to better understand the country. Less interesting the anthropological one, since it is not very exhaustive, perhaps with the reception of Greenland. The bar-restaurant is accessible without paying the entrance to the museum

We have seen the museum several times when we come to Copenhagen. This time we went specifically after the Viking exhibition and Jim Lyngvild's staging of the same.
Fantastic!
Many more museums could learn from this.
A way to convey knowledge that is much more present.
And luckily we got an eye on Rane's box so it had to be pressed there

As first time visitors, we found the museum layout to be confusing and poorly signed. Also, oddly for such an important institution, the toilet facilities and availability were very inadequate. On the other hand, the artifacts themselves were impressive and thoughtfully displayed together with excellent information plaques. The English translations were much appreciated.

a little bit that they are bothered to make money for it

A very interesting and rich collection of ethnographic objects from all over the world, especially from the North European cultures, but also from Asia, from Oceania or pre-Columbian America. From the section of the culture of the Vikings, I expected more, the truth. On the top floor there is a collection of doll houses very complete that will delight many mothers.
The rooms dedicated to Japan are exquisite.
I was struck by the stage with the full orchestra of Java gammelangs. He had never seen anything like that.

Lots of exhibits. Interesting but not very modern. Typical national museum.

Super interesting everything
Viking Exhibition
Perfect exhibition about Mongolians and Genghis Kahn

You can get lost here for hours looking at the exhibits. Great place to visit.

Weird layout, lots of dead-ends. Letters in some exhibits are peeling off the walls. Overall, it is a museum.

My favorite museum. Prehistoric and early history, Vikings and Nunismatics. Also a great restaurant. Unbeatable.

A fascinating insight into the history of Denmark and Copenhagen and, best of all, it's free! It will take quite a few hours to get around the whole museum, so leave plenty of time for your visit.

Some of the exhibitions are looking a little dated now, but the white buses temporary exhibition was fantastic and is a must-see while it is still runinng.

I have seen many museums but this is one of the few that was especially engaging - I really enjoyed myself and would love to return one day! It was like going into a time machine and stepping into various homes from different times. Fantastic job! (I went in August 2019, my first time in Copenhagen.)

It takes some time to get it all around. Then probably take one more trip

Looks like a small building but your can spend hours in here. Weekdays expect to find some school classes wandering around, but the place is big so you can wander around.

If you like Viking history this has to be the best I have seen with a huge selection of artifacts and a well laid out history. Combine this with the rest of a well organized museum and you can easily spend many hours here. Nearly all of the exhibits had both Danish and English explanations

Nice section vikinga interesting but not exciting the rest

Wonderful display of Danish history from prehistoric to modern times

Tickets are cheap and the collection is absolutely humongous. Could easily spend multiple days here.

Well located museum in accessible city, very friendly and competent guide who responds intelligently, impressive collection and well exposed

It said allow 2 hrs - you need at least 6. Ooh mi poor legs!!

Here you will find many to be our national treasures, but why should it be so expensive to enter?

Both my husband and I were disappointed with our time spent here
I considered some of the information re cromagnan and Neanderthal man to be out of date
I was very disappointed with a political/socialist comment on the grave site in the bronze age. This is a historical place not an area for political views.
On the 2nd level it was quite confusing, between the palace rooms, historical displays and the story of the Danish empire.
As a mature/seniors couple the poor light made reading difficult. There needs to be toilets on each level and clearly signposted

Not particularly user oriented and now that entrance is required they only get 2 stars. There are many other better deals in town

Nice history of Denmark and some great artefacts on show. I thought it was worth the 85 DKK entrance fee.

Boring fiktive stories. Bad research from creative researchers especially the Egtvedpige.

Danish antiquity is finely presented on the ground floor, but from the stairs and up the exhibition is clattering a bit uncomfortably together.
Look past the Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus if you want to see how history is to be conveyed in the 21st century.

Super fat for kids. Beautiful and very exciting museum with lots to look at for all ages. Great play area for kids where you can spend many hours. Nice area for food brought. However, the cafe could well need an update

Really big museum, you need more than 3 hours
They have arts from different cultures
There is a history floor
There are guide tours
THere are no discounts for students

A very impressive large museum with almost everything for history and ancient effects, from ancient times to World War II. It's almost impossible to experience the whole museum in just one day!

The National Museum is full of Denmark's history. Everyone should visit this museum when the trip goes to Copenhagen.

Very interesting museum in the heart of Copenhagen. Learned a lot about Danish history and saw some amazing artifacts.

The viking exhibition is rather impressive, also for kids. If coming with young children they'll appreciate the Anything Can Happen action buttons, and the Kids museum/department.

Awesome museum. A must see. You can literally walk through the history of Denmark from the very beginning until the 2000s.
