A must-see for any visit to Copenhagen. An outstanding collection of paintings with a huge collection of Danish art. A magnificent new extension overlooking the park which is well worth a visit (despite the modern garbage within it).

Statens Museum for Kunst is free for admission, covered in our CPH Card. At the entrance , we were welcomed by the cheerful Counter Staff who presented us the Visitor Sticker. There is a layout plan to show the individual room displays of various art exhibits. Beside is a Library and gift shop for visitors to browse through for their choices to purchase. Before we start the tour in this museum, we were given free locker to keep our jackets & stuff. In this Museum, as seen from our tour , it has collections of the Royal Paintings & Sculpture, Graphic Art & Plaster Casts. In each individual rooms are exhibits with detailed write up on on its Painters & Artists of 1) European Art from 1300-1800, 2) Danish & Nordic Art from 1750-1900 3) French Art from 1900-1930 as well as Danish & International after 1900 in the new building. Interestingly In one room ,an exhibition on Baroque – "Out of Darkness" is on until 5 November 2023 . It presented works by european artists such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens and Margareta Haverman in the 17th century. Plenty to see, we wish we would have more time , very interesting throughout. We drop by the Cafetaria to have a bite, but atlas it was fully book. All in all , a great time spent !!!!

Massive art gallery not far from the centre of Copenhagen. There are loads and loads of paintings and sculptures, some ancient and some new. While we weren't blown away by all of the paintings, especially the religious ones, we could still appreciate the art itself, and I'm sure other people would enjoy it more - we just wanted to throw ourselves into some local culture while visiting the city. The building is massive and there are loads of pieces of art.

SMK is the National Gallery of Denmark. It is located in the Museum district not far from the Norreport Station, making it convenient for public transport. The SMK is a large museum with extensive collections. The permanent exhibition includes several famous works by Danish artists and also an excellent European collection including some great works by Matisse, Picasso, and other famous artists. A nice selection of modern art is also on show, so you may want to spend some time at this fine museum.

We spent a whole afternoon in the gallery. The display of Danish and Scandinavian art was very good. We also enjoyed the Western Europe collection an the French 20th century display too. The Giacometti special exhibition was outstanding. The cafe was good too.

The National Gallery of Denmark, also know as Statens Museum for Kunst/ SMK, has a lovely collection. The sculpture room has a very nice grouping of primarily Scandinavian artists and another area devoted to Danish painters with beautiful pieces. There is a newer contemporary wing with art that was not our favorite but it’s still worth visiting for anyone who loves art.

Good gallery, with a wide range of exhibitions. Art is ell displayed & with detailed descriptions in Danish & English. Staff were helpful and spoke OK English. Free lockers available for bags.

I love coming here. Open, modern good quality paintings and with a good cafe. Obviously its Danish collection is unsurpassed. Make sure you visit the "Salon of the refused" on the ground floor at the back and read what this is about.

An amazing art gallery quite close to Rosenberg castle. This was one of the best places to visit in Copenhagen for me with historical and modern art featured. I think we walked through the entire building but I could easily visit here again and again. It was absolutely fantastic. See my photos.

Spent about 2.5 hours in the museum - with everything from French, European, Danish and Contemporary art sections. Such a well spaced out beautiful building. The contemporary art is in the new wing which is equally beautiful and the overall space is amazing. They did have a special exhibition on but thought the permanent collection amazing on its own. Would definitely recommend.
