Free entrance to state museums beginning in 2006
A very positive development for tourists visiting Copenhagen is that as of 2006, entrance to state owned museums is free of charge to their regular collections.In the Copenhagen area this includes the National Museum and the State Museum of Contemporary Art, Statens Museum for Kunst.
Unfortunately this coincides with the temporary closing of the most popular permanent exhibition at the National Museum, Danish Prehistory, for three years while it is being recreated in a more contemporary style. Today the Danish Prehistory exhibition seems very old-fashioned after being "in production" for more than 30 years. The good news is that the most important and popular pieces from the collection will be back on a temporary display already from May 2006, so you can still get some glimpses of viking age in Denmark while the exhibition is being redesigned.
At the moment, also Statens Museum for Kunst is closing part of its space. The museum is in the process of fireproofing the old building, keeping all activities in the new white marble building. This does not mean that the museum stops its activities - a Rembrandt exhibition will be available from 4 February - 14 May 2006. But as this is not a permanent exhibition, you will be charged an entrance fee.
Welcome to a more easily accessible cultural Copenhagen!
