Nationalmuseet

Explore Danish history from its prehistoric past to the present day at the country’s largest museum. Both the Inuit and Viking exhibitions are gripping, while prehistoric highlights include the Trundholm Sun Chariot — a stunning Bronze Age artefact found by a farmer in 1902 — and the so-called Egtved Girl’s grave, which contains the bog-preserved body of a woman buried almost 3,500 years ago. An exhibition on Denmark’s colonial history in the Caribbean, India, West Africa and Greenland is unmissable.
