we came here in part because it was raining - and there is free admission, which is wonderful. anyways, it was really interesting to walk around and look at the art collection. for me, it was most interesting to focus on Danish works, to learn more about the country and it's culture. the collection "Danish and Nordic Art, 1750-1900" was...

The national gallery was such a surprise, it was light and bright and beautiful. The free areas shows a lot of nice things to see, I especially enjoyed the long walk through art in diffirent time. The reason why I can't give it a full five is because the thing I was most interested in was the dutch artists such... More

SMK offers a wide range of old and contemporary (primarily) Danish art. Beautifull buildings which allows you to enjoy the art and the surroundings. If you bring children the museum offers a workshop with a lot of possibilities for the children to unfold their artistic selves. I once took my mother for a guided tour just the two of us... More

I was impressed by the ethnographic collection of this museum. It is very extensive and has very interesting items. Of note are the Asian and Inuit collections.

Whether taking visitors or just popping in for a dose of art - SKM is a beautiful space with a great variety of art. I took my 2 year old last time, and he even enjoyed it :)

The museum offers a great collection of old an new art. If you only have time for one art museum (there are quite a few here!) this should be the one!

Its large collection gives an excellent overview of Denmark's many fine artists. I especially like 19th C. Danish art including the "Golden Age" (Guldalder) painters

My family visited this museum during a recent visit to Copenhagen. The museum is free and worth the time to visit. We spent several hours and did not see all of the art. We first viewed the Danish art section that gave a great representation of Danish art history. My wife and I enjoyed this very much. My sons like... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the work on view. Having known next to nothing about Danish art I was taken with many of the works on display. And additionally there are a goodly number of world-renowned artists represented in the collection. We happily spent around 3 hours touring the gallery.
