What travelers are saying
- MrsWBNUnited Arab Emirates94 contributionsMy first visit to Glyptoteket and I was nothing but impressed. The space itself is worth a visit, its hard to find a more beautiful museum space. The collections were interestingly presented and there was several temporary exhibitions to enjoy. It was a hot day, so I managed about 2,5 hours in the museum, but could have easily spent another two. The central garden was a fav spot to have a little break.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frank SWestborough, MA503 contributionsA fun way to kill a few hours and learn some stuff. I thought it was worth a visit. It wasn’t the most memorable museum but still fun.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bev W11 contributionsLovely gardens to walk around, take time to sit & relax.
Palm house and the butterfly house worth a visit.
Summer would be beautiful but September weather this year was perfect to walk around the gardens even though flowers were finishing.Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Having crowned a new king this year, this palace provides loads of interesting information about the monarchy. It is a lovely building to walk around and absorb Danish history and culture.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- md1mmSheffield, UK1,628 contributionsCentral relatively small museum. Very strong on Islamic art and caligraphy. Well laid out. You follow a trail starting at the top. They have a number of top class Hamershoi paintings but they are not currently on display.
They also do tours some of which are in English but you have to pre-book.
All of this this free which is unusual for Copenhagen for something of this quality.Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.Written August 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Philip LIpswich, UK223 contributionsI went here only because my wife wanted to see it! However, my negative attitude was soon replaced on discovering the wide variety of objects that were exhibited in the museum. Having learnt so much about the design of chairs here, I later found myself looking at all sorts of chairs in the department store and judging them with my new found knowledge.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CAAbcfcZurich, Switzerland295 contributionsSlightly unsure about visiting at first look - but what a mistake it would have been to have missed out! This is a spellbinding and fascinating experience in the true sense of the words. Never boring with the next room or attraction seemingly outdoing the last. Many superb photo opportunities, interactive exhibits and very helpful staff to coach you on the best effects e.g. taking pictures at the Nyhavn exhibit. Age no limit to being thoroughly entertained. Two over 70s will remember this attraction for a very long, long time!Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Morten K5 contributionsIf you are visiting Copenhagen you should give yourself the chance to be astounded and marvel at Thorvaldsens beautiful museum.
Have a look at his fantastic works and enjoy the Danish architect Binnesboel and his effort of underlining Thorwaldsens art

They have an impressive collection of cannon and artillery pieces from their history. They also have a fascinating rendering of a peace keeping base in Afghanistan. Second floor has tons of naval and Air Force exhibits.Written July 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Greg SAdelaide, Australia1,355 contributionsUnless on a tour it is a little tricky to get to. From central, you need to take a city train to “Carlsberg”.
If visiting allow 2-3 hours and pay the extra for a behind the scene experience such as the recently released war rooms…Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can learn a great deal about the human body here, including an exhibition on Covid, which has now past into the history books of medical science. It is worth noting that some of the exhibits could be upsetting or frightening to sensitive minds.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris TSouth Orange, NJ12 contributionsI thought this was a great art installation experience. My wife was less impressed. As people have noted, it’s very loud and very dark. You need to move very slowly at first as it’s dark and it takes 5-10 minutes for your eyes to adjust. I felt moving slowly and carefully along the walkways was part of the intended effect for a lament.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- md1mmSheffield, UK1,628 contributionsThis is a relatively small gallery with paintings donated by the Hirschprungs. Small collection of good quality Hamershoi paintings. Currently there is a very good temporary exhibition on "soldiers".Written July 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ruth RHalifax, UK126 contributionsIt’s obviously still used as a centre for socialist and trades union activity. The restaurant was obviously a draw but we didn’t eat there so I can’t tell you what it’s like. The assembly hall, recently refurbished, is beautiful and the story around the walls interesting. There is a great account of one family and their trials and successes as working people. Not as much English as we needed probably but well worth a visit.Written February 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
