Thorvaldsens Museum

Top 19 in Must-Visit Museums

Great museum for the renowned sculptor. The collection is very comprehensive and laid out beautifully, making for some wonderful photographs. There was a market in front of the museum when we visited, which added to the adventure.

Museum dedicated to the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. I wasn't familiar with his work before going, but am a big fan of sculptures in general so decided to check it out. His works are good examples of the neoclassical style and really try to imitate the Greek ideals of beauty in art. The museum has several interesting sculptures and Thorvaldsen's tomb is located in the museum's courtyard

The sculptures on display in the museum are very majestic, the ceilings are beautifully decorated, and the sculptures are mainly marble and plaster. You can sit on a bench in any side corridor and read the introduction provided in the museum. The staff in the museum has a very good attitude and the transportation is very convenient. There is a pedestrian street in front of it, next to the assembly hall.

This museum is very much loved by the Danish people, and its location is on the site of an ancient palace. In addition to the sculptures, the artworks displayed in this museum are particularly worth seeing and are very distinctive.

This museum is the first public museum in Copenhagen. It was established in 1848. It is located on the original site of the Christiansborg Palace. All Thorvaldsen's sculptures are displayed in this museum, which is shocking.
