I learnt alot about chairs and wallpaper!! Which is coming back in vogue Incl. key UK players re- latter from post war years - 60's (current temp. exhibition). Warm place and lockers for your coats and great cafe which did decaff coffee even. They had an amazing grand piano!!

Enjoyed my visit to the museum, which is centrally located. Nice exhibit on Finn Juhl and i liked the standing Utopias and Reality exhibit - interesting text accompanying the retrospective. Beautiful old building. Fairly small museum though.
