Denmark's National Museum in Copenhagen has exhibitions which present the history and culture of Denmark. From the Stone Age, the Viking Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance to the Modern Danish History. You can see unique treasures such as the Golden Chariot of the Sun and Egtved Girl or interesting collections from the Viking age.

The National Museum located in The Prince’s Palace was built by Nicolai Eigtved between 1743 and 1744 for the Danish Crown Prince Frederik V and Crown Princess Louise. The gallery is reflected in the architecture, space and witness of the rooms, offering plenty of options to show exquisite handicrafts. The museum is well-structured and takes two days if you wish to cover all.
