National Museum of Denmark

概要

クイックファクト: 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.

見どころ: 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.

インサイダーヒント

• 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.
