Copenhagen Historical MuseumsThe rich history of Denmark, from Viking days through to the
Second World War resistance movement, is encapsulated in
fascinating collections of artefacts housed in a series of museums
in and around Copenhagen. The Prince's Palace in the city centre
houses the National Museum covering Danish history in general and a
collection of international antiquities. The open air museum a few
miles north of the city makes for a fascinating excursion with its
100 or so buildings, most relocated from elsewhere in the country,
set out to illustrate what life was like in rural Denmark in days
of yore. Visitors can get up to date on the history of the city
itself in the Copenhagen City Museum, housed in the Royal Shooting
Society's palace dating from 1787.
