This distinctive museum is singularly dedicated to showcasing the exceptional art of Danish Neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844), who, for the majority of his illustrious career, resided in the captivating city of Rome (1796–1838).

Nestled on the picturesque island of Slotsholmen, right in the heart of central Copenhagen and conveniently adjacent to the resplendent Christiansborg Palace, this architectural gem was envisioned by the talented Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll.

A labor of love, the construction of this remarkable museum commenced in 1838 and was completed in 1848, the result of a passionate and devoted public collection of funds in 1837.

Combining history, culture, and art, the Thorvaldsen Museum is a must-visit destination for those seeking to explore and immerse themselves in the artistic wonders of Copenhagen’s past and present.
