Introduction

The National Museum of Denmark is located in a Rococo-style palace built in 1744. It underwent partial expansion in the 1930s and in the 1950s, some institutions were relocated to the town of Brede. In addition, the museum is responsible for managing castles, churches, temples, rural buildings, and Nordic pirate sites throughout the country. As Denmark's most important and largest cultural history museum, the National Museum of Denmark hosts a variety of exciting exhibitions every year. The museum displays a large collection of precious historical artifacts covering the entire history period from prehistoric times, the ice age, the Viking Age, and the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. In addition, the museum also has a children's museum that showcases scenes from the study of great-grandmothers in the 20th century, the opportunity to ride a Viking pirate ship, and a display of a real residence from the Victorian era in 1890.
