Nationalmuseet
Denmark's largest cultural history museum, where you can trace the country's past from the Stone Age and Viking Age to modern times.
Housed in the Prince's Palace (Prinsens Palæ), the museum displays the Sun Chariot, Bronze Age lurs, Viking weapons and jewelry, medieval church art, as well as Danish folk culture and ethnographic collections from around the world. The children's museum lets kids try on Viking costumes. Admission to the permanent exhibitions is about DKK 130, and visitors under 18 enter free. The museum is closed on Mondays, except in summer.
