Thorvaldsens Museum opened in 1848 and is the oldest museum in Denmark. Vibrant colours, unique architecture and Victoria, the goddess of victory, characterize the building, which houses the works of the world-famous Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. A tour of the museum reveals a very special opportunity to enjoy world-class art and architecture. Located at The Castle Island (Slotsholmen) in the heart of Copenhagen the museum is very close to some of the most popular attractions of the city.
