Bottom floor starts from long, long ago before there was a Denmark, and progresses in time as you go through the museum.

So...shamefully, I never intended to visit this museum during my visit. My mistake!…read more I happened to be in the general area, wanting to go to a specifically contemporary art museum that was *supposed* to be open but definitely was not. I was cranky about it, but just started heading back towards the city center on foot to see what the world might have in store for me. And what it had in store for me was all of the National Museums! Since I was planning on a museum any way, wanted to snag some WiFi, and it was included with my Copenhagen Card that expired that evening...I mean, why not check it out!? There was a great variety of artistic styles and time periods represented here. So, no matter what kind of art you like, you will find something that you enjoy here. I personally enjoy modern and contemporary art, and since I had been on the hunt for that earlier, that is where I focused my attention. They have a very nice contemporary collection. Visually appealing, colorful, and things I haven't seen before! I really enjoyed everything I got to see, both in the contemporary areas and the rest of the museum. And after wrapping up my art-ing, I got a bite to eat and a very good cup of coffee in the museum restaurant. I had a much nicer time here than I expected to, and should have had this on my must-see list earlier in my visit. Don't make my same mistake!

The greatest zoological museums are Naturkunde in Berlin or Zoological Museum in London, and…read moreZoologisk Museum is not near in that class, but it offers something else. You can get pretty close to a range of stuffed animals and skulls. This is fun for children, but the old biologist also use a lot of time with the skulls. The museum is small and intimate. You can do it in 2-3 hours, if you do not linger like me. It's situated in the two top floors at the Zoological Institute of Københavns Universitet (UCPH). Take the lift or the stairs from the small gift shop at ground flor. By the lift you can start your visit in an area used to changing exhibitions. Learn at the website, what it is right now. From this room you can enter an icecave. In the cave you visit the big mammoth, and you can begin to explore the fauna of Denmark though history. After the stroll though history, and can learn a bit about nowadays fauna in Denmark. It's an old and very poor part of the exhibition. The last thing at this floor is the school service. It's the place with stuffed animals and skulls. In school holidays they have university students with all kind of exciting things here. At the top floor you can walk your way from the Artic to the Anartic, and the great evolution exhibition.

Along the way, there are different signs you can read, and a little area inside the wall near the top where you can see all the way down to the bottom. The top is windy, but it's nice to see all the landmarks and colorful houses from the top. Definitely worth the visit.

Plan on taking a half day or maybe longer if you want to get into details since it closes at 5pm. This was known as the zero ground for accurately measuring Denmark, and even though you may think of this as just the tower, there is more attached to this above the Church. At the top, you have a great view of the surrounding area with highlights marked.

This is a Museum you have to visit if you want to understand Danish history. All houses look cute…read moreand romantic, but in reality people had a really really hard life. Especially women- I think. This Frilandsmuseet is actually collection of houses from mostly the 19th century. They are very authentic and you can still feel and smell life at the time. I liked all the buildings, but most impressive was old wooden windmill, yellow spooky hospital and fishermens house. Everybody can find something they like. But most beneficial is to see how fortunate we are to be born in these days. I feel respect for old generations (not only Danish) and also more understand how important education and evolution in every direction connected to life. Even though I have 5 stars, I think there may be little bit more to add to this place. For example showing original old crafts (smith, fabrics making, cooking, shoe making, beer making, ....) so we could touch, smell and taste flavor as our ancestors. The ponies for kids and carriage for adults were nice, but more hands on activities would be great. I had a lot of fun with my family and hopefully we will be back sometime soon!

Be sure to grab a free audio guide, as that's how those narratives play out. If you watch/listen to every segment, this experience can easily take over two hours. Lots of interesting information about the occupation, resistance, insider political debates, and Danish Jews. There's a modest-size cafe on the upper floor that's quite nice and overlooks a park. They have smørrebrød and other things. The museum shop is also lovely, with some interesting items that I found unique. The bathrooms are clean and nice and spacious.

Once you get here, you walk in a maze covered floor to ceiling with information and artifacts. Through it all, you take approximately an hour, give or take 15 minutes. There was a person who was discussing a topic at a point in the exhibit, but it was in Danish. Most of the information is in both English and Danish, but many of the artifacts do not have translations.

The guy at the front desk was really friendly and lent me the English language guide but I couldn't figure out which room corresponded to which page in the guide and the exhibits are exclusively in Danish. If you can't read Danish, I'd only recommend it if you are a big mystery reader or are interested in the Denmark-specific police history as there is some stuff about the transition from nightwatchmen and the role of lighting in the city. But if you are in the neighborhood, maybe you'd want to check it out; it's free. There are some bloody photos but I don't think they would be too disturbing for kids.
