This museum had so much to offer. “The Future” exhibition currently on was very ‘Black Mirror’ and very interesting. I am used to free museums in the UK so £15 felt very expensive but would still recommend it. Only problem was the first exhibition wore me out as I read everything and felt quite tired for the rest! Could’ve done with it being an open ticket for the year and going back the next day as some offer.

The Danes have a knack for designing items for functionality, amusement and/or aesthetics. That's all on display at the Designmuseum. The first exhibit is all about everyday objects, and is the right handshake to set the tone. Much of the museum is about things people actually engage with (as opposed to just looking at). So you'll find fashion, chairs, vases, tapestries, poster art, etc., through various historical lenses & influences. The level of creativity & originality on display here is off the charts. I'd budget 3 hours to do it right.

On arrival I was greeting by friendly staff who showed me where the free lockers are for belongings and where to buy a ticket from. Tickets were reasonably priced and the busy whilst a bit busy wasn't overcrowded. The exhibits were great, I could've spent all day in here. The first section was fascinating looking at modern day and future design be that the internet and how this is shaping design. This then led to further great sections too. The Library of Change was great.

This museum has been on my radar since my last trip to Copenhagen, and I decided to stop by between other commitments this time. The museum is located in a beautiful classic building, which contrasts pleasantly with the exhibition itself. Anyone who loves Nordic design would find something to drool over here - whether it is the classic lighting (think Louis Poulsen) or the most iconic items from key Danish design eras. Parts of the exhibit were being changed, so the tour was under an hour... Now, this visit coincided with the "3 days of design" event that was going on all over the city, with pop-up stores and make-shift exhibitions in pretty much every other design store. So I, frankly, spent more time ogling those than in this museum. Still worth a quick stop if you love Danish design.

One of the best museums in Denmark. The new reorganized museum from 2022 is very worth to visit. It combines the past and the future. They did a lot efforts to attract younger visitors with modern art in the beginning of the exibitions. The staffs are also friendly. The exibs makes you think of your life and how to live more comfortable and more subtainable.

Uniquely Danish - you won't experience what is inside this building anywhere else in the word. The Danes care about design in a way that deserves to be seen and not just read about. Denmark is incredibly influential in the world of modern design. Note: Focus on the permanent collection and don't miss the chairs in the cafe' where you can sit in a century of design. For those of you that love design, this is a must see!

The description in the DK guidebook did not do this lovely museum justice! We were expecting just chairs and maybe some other household furniture and items, but this is so much more! The whole flow of the museum was very restful, and we were totally absorbed. The fabrics, the interesting exhibit on Greenland gold and gemstones (which was new to us) the "into the future" section, the beautiful silver and china and the unbelievable collection of tsuba (Samurai sword guards), so much to see and enjoy. We didn't visit the cafe, but it was well patronised, and the toilets were clean (always good!) although the lock was a bit stiff and I did think I might be stuck there! They were setting up for some sort of event outside that evening - I don't know what it was but I hope they had a wet weather contingency as it started to pour at 5pm and continued all night!

Anyone who likes Danish design, or design whatsoever, should go to this museum. We didn't much care for the contemporary art special exhibition (a bit conceptual for our taste, call us old-fashioned), but the rest of the museum was fantastic. I'd definitely return.

Excellent for a one to two hour tour. Lots of different aspects of Danish (and other countries) design to make you think. Lots of thought has gone into the layout and way exhibits have been arranged. Particularly liked the table through the ages. There is also a Lichtenstein that you can look at by almost putting your nose next to the painting - amazing to get so close to such a well known piece of art.

Enjoyable if confusing, and a rather long one way walk through the temporary exhibitions to get to the permanent displays. We felt it needed a rethink regarding curation and order. That said, there are a lot of very interesting things to see if you can find your way around.
