CLIMATE
Denmark from Glaciers to Global Warming
New exhibition at the National Museum, 31st October 2009 – 7th March 2010 |
|
 |
From crested pelicans to mammoths metres high – Denmark has not always been the Ugly Duckling’s country. We have had tundra with temperatures like Greenland, and dense primal forest in a Riviera climate. At the National Museum we are making our contribution to the climate debate with knowledge of how and why the Danish climate and landscape have changed, from the freezing Ice Age through warm dark primal forest until today - with a peek into the future. See among other things a polar bear, a tree stump from the bottom of the Great Belt, a foot from a bog body and thousand-year-old ice in the exhibition “CLIMATE. Denmark from Glaciers to Global Warming”, which opens on 31st October 2009.

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.

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.
