Copenhagen is an amazing city where everyone finds what they are looking for, whether it's beautiful architectural monuments, impressive museum collections, or charming city gardens and parks.
The National Gallery of Denmark is a harmonious combination of an architectural masterpiece, located in the heart of the Danish capital, and the world's amazing artworks. The building of the National Gallery was built at the end of the 19th century by the famous Danish architect Vilhelm Dahlerup. Today, this grand Italian-style mansion is buried in the greenery of the surrounding park. What could be more pleasant than wandering along the shady alleys and thinking about the works of art that you have seen?
The National Gallery of Denmark is indeed impressive. Its solid walls, richly decorated with stucco, contain priceless treasures: there are paintings, sculptures, and installations from 12th-century art to contemporary works. All its exhibits are divided by country, historical period, and theme.
The spacious halls are adorned with paintings by such great masters as Andrea Mantegna and Titian, Pieter Bruegel, and Tintoretto. The works of Peter Paul Rubens, Frans Hals, and legendary Rembrandt fascinate visitors with their beauty, attracting them like powerful magnets. You can often see museum visitors spending hours enjoying only one canvas, a real masterpiece of painting. The exhibition of Danish art deserves special attention.
The collection of contemporary art comprises paintings by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Modigliani, and Nolde. Sometimes, even the most famous museum can't boast such an impressive collection. The National Gallery of Denmark was enriched by the kings of Denmark themselves, who donated their private collections, and those who wished to remain anonymous.
In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum regularly hosts temporary expositions, performances, and various cultural events.
