Travel through 14,000 years of history at National Museum of Denmark, which narrates the stories of the many different cultures that once thrived in this and other parts of the world. The museum's eclectic collection includes everything from Viking coins and Bronze Age coffins to Egyptian mummies and African masks. Offering a kind of crash course in Danish culture, the museum stores a vast collection of prehistoric archeological treasures unearthed from Denmark's soil over the last few centuries. The easiest way to see the most representative exhibits quickly is by guided tour. Stop by the information desk at the entrance to sign up for one, or visit the website for downloadable guides and leaflets.

Amazing museum! It's a must if you visit Copenhagen. Full of history, guiding you through time (stone age-modern days) and places (nordic countries and the colonies), correlated with the whole world (with specific traditions). Really well displayed, easy to walk through, interactive. Kids friendly (they have plenty of space to move). Keep in mind it's a long visit (at least 2.5 hours), children might get tired easily. Lockers available free of charge.

An amazing collection of artifacts from all over the world! The Viking section was the best, including the remains of the world’s longest Viking ship, an extremely well-done video of the Viking quest to reach Rome, and several rune stones (which, aside from being huge, are on the Danish passport, so they *must* be important!). The other rooms weren’t quite as impressive, but still very well done. For sure one of the top things to do in Copenhagen.
