Gyors tények: Roughly 40,000 years of Danish history sit under one roof, with more than 500,000 artifacts held in the collection. A Bronze Age sun chariot, pulled by a gilded horse, has survived nearly 3,500 years with much of its gold leaf still shining.

Főbb látnivalók: In a dim gallery, the Trundholm sun chariot awaits: a slim bronze horse hauling a gold-plated sun disk that was pulled from a Zealand bog in 1902 after roughly 3,400 years underground. Showcased nearby, the Egtved girl's woolen skirt looks freshly spun after 3,400 years, its final fringe still braided into place.

Bennfentes tippek

• Queue up just before the 10am opening and make a straight line for the Bronze Age hall, where the sun chariot gets crowded by late morning.
• Flash is switched off around the ancient textiles and gold, so raise your phone's low-light mode for acceptable indoor shots.
• Parents should steer children to the hands-on wing, where a recreated Viking house and ship hold let kids run off steam.
• Grey January weekdays feel nearly deserted, making a slow winter wander the best trick for uninterrupted viewing.
