Copenhagen was once a Viking fishing settlement, and you can still find traces of the Norse explorers here. Visit reconstructed villages, the remains of a 1,000-year-old castle, and museums dedicated to the notorious raiders. Copenhagen also features a blend of modern architecture and historical artifacts such as the Round Tower observatory – a wonderful example of 17th-century architecture. Art galleries, narrow streets, canals, parks, and Baroque churches round out the city’s cultural attractions.

Thie David Collection is housed in the building once occupied by the museum's founder, barrister and businessman, Christian Ludwig David (who died in 1960), and a neighbouring building that was subsequently acquired. They were comprehensively renovated to purpose between 2005 and 2009 such that all of the exhibits are wonderfully displayed. Both buildings overlook Kongens Have. There are 3 different collections in the museum being: . the collection of Islamic Art - located on the top 2 floors, which is clearly the largest of the 3 collections and actually is one of the largest Islamic Art collections in Europe. This collection includes works from the geographic sphere of Spain to India, the period from the 7th century until 1850 and includes textiles, rugs, Korans, paintings, calligraphy, architecture, jewellery, ceramics, prints, coins etc. many of which, as there is insufficient room to display them all hanging, are in excellent pull-out drawers. There are truly a significant number of exceedingly beautiful pieces in this collection, many of which have been added after David's death by the Foundation established by David to run the museum; . the collection of European 18th century art which is displayed over 2 floors that have original furniture from when David lived there including several pieces by Chippendale and Roentgen and includes porcelain from Meissen, ceramics and silverware from France and Denmark (Royal Copenhagen) plus Dutch and French paintings from the 17th and 18th century; and . the collection of Danish Early Modern Art including about 12 works by Vilhelm Hammershoi. Entry to this gem of a museum is free and you get a great handout and tablet to walk around with. Highly recommended.

From Church to Contemporary Art Centre. St. Nikolaj Church originated in the early 1200s and is Copenhagen’s third oldest church. As a consequence of the Great Fire of Copenhagen in 1795, the building’s history as a church came to an end in 1805. Nikolaj Kunsthal presents 5-6 Danish and international exhibitions every year. Exhibitions that give visitors the opportunity to encounter experimental and innovative art - including our annual exhibition for children and young people. See you at Nikolaj Kunsthal

Not sure what everyone is complaining about - you can see what exhibit is taking place from the outside. I went for the Leonard Cohen show which was really great. The building itself is also quite interesting with a very long history and lots of architectural intricacies. Perhaps I would have been disappointed if that was where it stopped, but my ticket also allowed me free access to the other half of the exhibit taking place at the GL Strand museum close by - a major bonus!
