The museum sits just at the coastline, aside from the captivating art exhibitions, it's one of the most peaceful, stunning landscapes I can think of. Definitely a must-see when visiting Copenhagen and likely a place you'll want to go back to again and again.”

(You start by bringing your bike on a short train ride) The museum is one of my favorites in the world not just because of the superb collection but also because of the architecture and sculpture garden. A must see if you’re visiting Copenhagen.”

Mia“Louisiana museum of course, takes about an hour (a little less) via train + a 10 minute walk to get there from the city. Beautiful, beautiful museum, just what you’d expect of Denmark. Very MCM, on a cliff overlooking the water, lots of grass to have a picnic on if you have the right weather— Carol also said people swim in the spring and summer. If you’re there in the fall/winter, you may get lucky and have a rainy day, in which case you’ll feel like you’re in Forks, Washington at the Cullen’s home. Really great permanent collection here, & the temporary exhibits, i’m told, are generally really well curated. We got to see Basquiat Drawings, in my opinion just okay compared to the rest of the museum. Sophie Calle & Lucien Freud coming soon. The entire thing will take you about 3 hours. Also! when you get off the train there is a café, and while you are there you should stop in and get a Flødeboller (many flavors to choose from, I had Yuzu), Licorice (if you’re not going to make it to one of the stores I mentioned in this list), and some tinned fish to take home.

Erika“This art museum has been extended 7 times since the opening in 1958, mainly by architects Bo and Wolert. It weaves itself into nature, creating different experiences of its surroundings. My favorite room is this unexpected viewpoint.”

Lizzie Noonan“my all-time favorite museum, located north of the city on the water. it takes about half or a full day to visit. the first property owner, Alexander Brun, who built the Old Villa in 1855, named the house after his three wives—all conveniently called Louise!”
