Each room/section shows examples of Danish design in any given period, but the genius here is that the various trends... More

Denmark is famous for its design and here is the place to know more about it. A place for design and furniture lovers. The museum is not big, but it gives a good idea of how design has evolved in the 20th century.

There were two temporary exhibits, one for textile and one for record covers and they were both interesting. The modern part of the permanent exhibition was excellent but I skimmed past the older/antique section because furniture etc from those eras does not appeal to me.

The building itself, wasn't very impressive like some others in Denmark. Nonetheless the staff is very nice, and there was an exposition focussing on records and record players! as an enthousiast i really enjoyed this exposition. Also, it's free for students!

This museum is quite small, but it doesn't cost a great deal to enter - we used our copenhagen card - wonderful range of Danish design and we were surprised at how many everyday articles we recognized which had originated from Denmark - the vinyl record cover exhibition was beautifully curated and we had a lot of fun remembering "old...

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.

A very comprehensive collection with some interesting special exhibits. Parts of the museum are very well curated, others not. Current special exhibition of vinyl record covers is very good. I got in for free with a Copenhagen card.
