It's been a couple decades for me, but I can't recommend this experience enough. The professors…read morewere top notch and attentive and the people and places of Denmark are remarkable.

If you are a college student in the United States, looking to broaden your horizons, I can't think…read moreof a better way to do it then a semester or even a year of study abroad at this institution. I had the good fortune to meet some of the key people during a presentation and panel discussion on curriculum development at the institute, from a social construction standpoint and just top notch educators. In addition, they provide a bountiful number of fascinating trips and experiences to familiarize one with the local culture. I was also impressed with the co-housing options where students could live together versus with a host family and the opportunity for individuals to develop those adult life-skills that are part and parcel of post-college life. As Virginia mentions, in an earlier post, the institute is located in the heart of Copenhagen, which is one of the most walkable and bike friendly places on the planet. You'll have a great time, just go! :-)

Okay, now I'm in my happy place…read more The Medical Museum, like that of the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia and the Narrenturm in Vienna, has lots of bones and guts and blood on display. There's a lot to see and read about in this museum, so if you're not weak-willed and can stomach some blood and guts, then I highly recommend this place. I really liked walking into the lecture room, a semi-circle of seats pointed towards a single podium. Just like in the movies. The basement also had a creepy sort of feel to it. Just like the movies. Since everything is housed in the actual space, it is truly authentic. Unfortunately, it is not ideal for the disabled and I don't think wheelchairs are able to get around at all. There are lots of stairs, even on a single level, and some are quite percarious at that. I tried using a Yelp check-in coupon with the nice gent that was selling tickets, but he claimed he had never seen one before in all his years working there. The manager, Vivika I believe her name, was very nice about honoring the discount, though she wasn't sure about it either. I guess there aren't enough Yelpers in Cph yet. She then was very thorough about telling me what was on display. Really enjoyed my visit here, and would recommend it for all weirdos like me.

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!…read more I have been to the Mutter Museum in Philly and I have been in a Medical History Museum in Indy. And this Medical Museion is like a perfect blending of the best parts of both of these spots! It helps that it is included with the Copenhagen Card, so it *feels* free, when actually you have already paid for it... But I gotta tell ya...even if it wasn't included with the card and you had to pay for it no matter what....you should go here! This was the first thing I found myself interested in when searching for things to do in Copenhagen. I was just so excited to see there was a medical museum in the city. And it surpassed my expectations. The museum is very close to the Marmorkirke and the Amalienborg Palace. So you can cover a lot of attractions in one day, in one area, should you want to. The museum hosts an interesting and mind-messing specimen collection. Much of it had me reading all of the info cards with my mouth agape, just thinking "....wow!" Definitely not for the squeamish, and maybe wait until your lunch has settled, or even eat after your visit, before decided to feast your eyes on some fetuses and brains and whatnot. While we were there, the museum was host to an interesting exhibit on the lower level called "Mind The Gut," which was really interesting and had a fun interactive game/"prescription" machine/fortune teller thing. The information signs throughout the museum are in Danish and English. And they have regular English-language guided tours. But as a native English speaker, you will not have a problem getting the most out of this museum. The staff at the welcome desk were friendly and happy to give us all the information we wanted. They absolutely added to our positive experience at the museum. I loved my visit here and would highly encourage anyone in to this kind of stuff, or who like off-the-beaten-path types of things, to pay the museum a visit!
