Museum of Copenhagen is a must see for anyone interested in Copenhagen. Experience the city’s history over 14,000 years, from the reindeer antlers carved by Ice Age hunters to the finely decorated sword handles of the Viking Age and films narrated by modern-day Copenhageners.
The exhibition is a journey through time with stops at famous places from Slotsholmen to Rådhuspladsen. Along the way, you’ll experience 18th-century greetings, hear the story of the fugitive king Morten Frederiksen and see the burning Nikolaj Church. Don’t miss the large interactive city model that shows the capital’s circadian rhythm and unique skyline.

No museum about the city without a city model: an absolute highlight is the large interactive model of the capital with panorama.
The Copenhagen Museum is located right next to the City Hall in a historic building from 1894. The richly decorated halls and rooms are worth a visit in themselves. Buy a piece of Copenhagen to take home from the shop and relax in the cosy café or the historic courtyard.
Café Spirrevippen, owned by Louise Aarsø and Emil Blomqvist Aarsø (a mother and son duo), is the museum’s charming café. It offers a delightful experience for both museum visitors and the local community, serving excellent coffee and a variety of drinks, alongside a selection of freshly baked buns, croissants, cakes, and light dishes.
