Copenhagen, Denmark
Thorvaldsen Museum

A chance to enter into the life and mind of Bertel Thorvaldsen.

Pretty much every art museum you visit displays collections from several different artists but have you ever been to a museum dedicated solely to one great mastermind? You can find such a museum in Copenhagen which is dedicated to the works of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. He was perhaps the most famous artist of his time and despite having come from extremely humble origins, his talents enabled him to receive an art education since a tender age of 11, at the Royal Danish Academy of Art. It was there that his artistic flair began to flourish.


The Thorvaldsen Museum is a haven for art lovers, particularly those of Thorvaldsen’s, with the building itself functioning like a work of art because of its tastefully decorated ceilings and floors. Filled to the brim with Thorvaldsen’s plaster and marble sculptures, sketches, models, letters, books and even his personal items, this is the place to be to roam around in the mind of this great artist. In his private collection, you will be awe-struck by some really impressive works, both by Thorvaldsen himself and by other wonderful artists. Immerse yourself in the mind of this master by visiting the Thorvaldsen Museum.
