Attraction · Copenhagen, Denmark
No traveler has reviewed it yet. Yours would be the first on this page, and the bad parts are the useful parts.

Denmark's national museum of design and applied arts, in a converted eighteenth-century hospital in Frederiksstaden, best known for its gallery of twentieth-century Danish chairs.
Because Danish design is the thing Copenhagen is most famous for, and this is where you can see the originals rather than the version of them sold at every furniture chain in the world.
The Danish Chair gallery. Free entry for under-18s. A calm building with a courtyard garden, late opening on Thursdays, and a shop that is actually good.
Expensive for its size. Deliberately narrow in scope. If you are not curious about objects and how they are made, ninety minutes will feel like plenty.
Anyone with an interest in furniture, industrial design or craft, and families, given free entry for under-18s.
You are indifferent to design objects. There is no broad art collection here to fall back on.
The ticket office closes an hour before the museum does. Thursday evening is the quietest slot. Combine it with Amalienborg and the harbour walk, which are both minutes away.
Adults pay DKK 140. Under-27s and students with valid ID and student card pay DKK 90. Children under 18 enter free. Groups of ten or more pay DKK 110 per person.
A fifteen-minute walk from Kongens Nytorv metro, or a short walk north from Nyhavn past Amalienborg. Bus 1A stops nearby.
Bredgade in Frederiksstaden, the eighteenth-century royal quarter, a few minutes from Amalienborg Palace and the Marble Church, and within easy walking distance of Nyhavn.
Ninety minutes to two hours, longer if the temporary exhibition interests you.
Step-free access with lifts to the exhibition floors and accessible toilets.
The best ninety minutes in Copenhagen if you care at all about how objects are made. Free for under-18s, late on Thursdays, and the chair gallery alone justifies the hundred and forty kroner.

Design Museum Denmark charges DKK 140 for adults, DKK 90 for under-27s and students with valid ID, and admits children under 18 free. It opens daily from 10.00 to 18.00, with late opening until 20.00 on Thursdays. The museum is the answer to a question most visitors to Copenhagen arrive already asking: why does everything here look like that. The Danish Chair gallery alone lines up the twentieth century's most…
