Don’t think I had ever been to a purpose built museum dedicated to a single artist before. This is one. I only visited because I got free admission with my ticket to The Museum of Copenhagen. So glad I did visit. I was amazed at the scale and detail of the exhibits. I knew very little about Bertel Thorvaldsen before my visit but please don’t be put off by that if you’re the same.

The building and the interior decorations are awesome and the sculptures are presented in a very nice way in the smaller rooms. Only thing that could be better is the information about Thorvaldsen’s life. …
