How did people live, work, go to school and vacation in the fishing village of Gilleleje? Visit The Ship Hall Museum and experience a mid-1800 house. See the old fishing boats and learn more about the dangerous life at sea. A classroom from 1865 takes you back to school more than a hundred years ago. Visit the small vacation home from the 1950’s and 60’s – could you enjoy your vacation in a 10 m² cottage? Skibshallerne (The Ship Halls) are located in the middle of old Gilleleje surrounded by a beautiful old orchard. Enjoy cake and coffee in the garden before you venture out to explore the sights.

Excellent science museum, everything was hands-on and interactive for children. Really interesting exhibits. The sensory tunnel and film were very good. The kids loved the construction zone and the bubble area. The cafe was nice but very expensive. Entry and transport to the museum was free with our Copenhagen cards.

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art collection focuses on contemporary works from 1945 to the present. Works by Pablo Picasso, Jean Dubuffet and Louise Bourgeois are part of the permanent exhibition at this white villa named Louise, after the first (and second and third) wife of the man who commissioned the building.

The location alone makes this worth the trip (about 30- 40 minutes from central Copenhagen). The restaurant has a great buffet option which was delicious but very expensive. Great exhibitions, a lively children’s centre with different activities and beautiful gardens to walk through. We visited this museum after visiting Kronborg Castle and it was very easy (train to Kronborg then a local bus to the museum and finally train back to Copenhagen) all included with the Copenhagen card - well worth the money.
6. Ordrupgaard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 167 reviews
Odrupgaard is an exclusive art museum with a collection that includes names such as Monet, Gauguin, Matisse, Renoir and Hammershoi. Initially, the museum building served as a manor house. You can still sense the atmosphere throughout the old rooms and the park. Additionally, you can experience temporary exhibitions and (on weekends) visit the renowned Danish architect Finn Juhl's house which is a part of the museum. The sculptural extensional adjacent building is designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid. How to get there: Take the S-train to Klampenborg or Lyngby Station, and then take bus 388 to Vilvordevej. It is a 2-minute walk from there to the museum.
7. The Karen Blixen Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 243 reviews
A historic home, bird sanctuary, park, and museum all in one, located in the house of writer and Nobel Prize finalist Baroness Karen Blixen (in the US and UK, Isak Dinesen), known especially for "Out of Africa" and "Seven Gothic Tales". The museum not only maintains the 17th century house, Blixen's furnishings, and the park, but regularly hosts exhibitions related to Blixen's life and work in Kenya and Denmark. Recent exhibitions have included an exhibition "HER" by internationally acclaimed artist Candice Breitz about Meryl Streep's career.

When we lived in Rungsted all those years ago, Rungstedlund was not open to the public. The Foundation which runs it has done a great job of restoration and interpretation. To visit we used our Copenhagen Card which covered both for the coastal train and the entrance fee, and we combined the visit with lunch in the café which had been recommended. From the station we walked the 1.5km, first along Rungstedvej towards the coast, and then a small almost hidden path (with a small signpost) took us through beautiful woods to Karen Blixen's simple grave, marked by a large stone, under a magnificent tree with a view for eternity…. We approached the house through the garden which supplies all the decorative bouquets of fresh flowers. The Museum itself is intimate and personal, and interprets the life of this fascinating, daring, adventurous, talented, controversial woman who was ahead of her time.... The friendly staff give a short introduction and are happy to answer any questions. You then go at your own pace with an audioguide and its excellent explanations….
8. Brede Works

The museum of Brede Works is located in Denmark's largest protected industrial complex. Sound, light, film and a multitude of other things give you an insight into the story of the lives of ordinary people in the transition to modern society, as well as the significance of industrialisation to daily life.

Reviewed By Jensen88 - Copenhagen, Denmark
A unique museum of the sometimes controversial, always monumental, artist Rudolph Tegner (1873-1950). The artist's classically inspired and often theatrical (border-line "too much", but never without talent and appeal) large-scale sculptures adorn the rooms of the museum as well as the magnificent sculpture park. It is place I have visited many times over the years, showed many a visitor - and I will happily return.
