Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Archaeology
Exhibition at The National Museum of Denmark from October 9th 2010 to February 27th 2011
|
|
 |
The Danish queen Margrethe II is not only a queen, she is also passionately interested in the past and archaeology. Life-size photographs and the queen’s voice guide visitors through the exhibition. The queen has been on archaeological digs since she was a teenager in Denmark and also abroad – in Italy at the end of the 1950s with her grandfather King Gustav IV of Sweden, in Nubia prior to the building of the Aswan Dam, and not least as an archaeology student at Cambridge.

Brede Værk - The factory in the countryside
New major attraction just north of Copenhagen
Opened 21st May 2009 |
|
|
Where can the family go if there has to be something both for the little engineer and for the playful of all ages? The new museum Brede Værk is an obvious possibility: see old machinery, hear how Denmark became an industrial country (from the first watermills to LEGO), allow yourself to be shown around by your own virtual guide and join in the work on the assembly line! And it’s all free.

Vikings in modern design – Denmark’s ‘new’ prehistory Opened 17th May 2008
|
|
|
From May 2008 there has been an extra good reason to visit Copenhagen: the National Museum of Denmark’s permanent exhibition Danish Prehistory is reopening in a new, modern design – an absolute ‘must-see’ with free admission into the bargain! Highlights like the Vikings’ gold and silver hoards, the 3400-year-old and quite unique Sun Chariot and the contemporary Egtved Girl, with her knee-length cord skirt, have been given a central placing. So even if you only have time for a ‘flying visit’, you can get a fine overall impression of Danish prehistory from the first Ice Age hunters to the Viking campaigns.
