Thorvaldsens Museum

The museum is named for hometown hero Bertel Thorvaldsen, an incredible sculptor in the Neoclassical period and one of the first Danish artists to gain real international fame. Thorvaldsen spent significant time in Rome crafting bespoke pieces for Napoleon and the Pope. The museum showcases his plaster and marble sculptures, personal letters, memorabilia, and art he collected in Italy and abroad. Guided tours are 50 minutes, and you can book one that ends with wine and snacks. This bite-sized museum in the center of town is perfect for chilly, rainy days when you want to warm up indoors and learn something. .
