The room with the massive statues is amazing as well as the room with Christ and the disciples. Truly beautiful. However, the rest of the work is not well shown and was not very interesting to us. If in the area, worth a short visit....More
It is hard to describe a place that filled with so many wonderland pieces of sculpture and paintings. Thorvaldsen did many great sculptures of various themes from Greek mythology, Christian art, and people of his day. This is a good place to spend two hours.

Somehow, I missed that this museum houses plaster casts of Thorvaldsens major works - I thought we would be viewing marbles. Surprise! Collecting plaster casts used to be big business for museums in the 19th and early 20th centruy, but then fell out of favor....More
Thank you so much for your review and for your in vogue comment ;-) At Thorvaldsens Museum we have almost all of Thorvaldsen's works either in marble or in plaster.The plaster casts are the original studies and models for Thorvaldsen’s sculptures in marble or bronze,...More
