What to do and see in Denmark, Denmark: The Best Museums

In September 2014, the Danish Music Museum reopened with its unique exhibition in new premises at Rosenorns alle 22, Frederiksberg C. The new premises are situated in the former "Broadcasting House", which also houses the Royal Danish Academy of Music. This is a unique "house of music" in which the museum's collections bring the living music of the practising musicians into a cultural historical context, and in which the living music supplies the museum's collections with a sounding dimension. The museum's refurbished exhibition is divided into two "routes" for the visitor - a route which deals with development in Denmark from the bronze lurs onwards, and a route which takes the Middle Ages as its starting point and continues through the various European periods, until both routes meet in globalization of the 20th century. A special part of the exhibition - The "Kunstkammer" - displays quite special, beautiful or rare objects from different periods. The rear part of the exhibition floor - The World - is reserved for temporary exhibitions, starting with an interesting exhibition about the Far East, featuring instruments from China, Japan and Korea. The new premises also house "Det Klingende Museum" - a new project for children and young people, which allows them to explore all kinds of musical instruments within three main categories: classical music, rhythmic music and traditional music.
