Copenhagen - Thorvaldsens Museum

|
Northwest of Christiansborg Palace lies the Thorvaldsens Museum, with works by Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), the greatest of all Danish sculptors. The building, in Neo-classical style, was constructed in 1839-48 to designs by Gottlieb Bindesboll. On the exterior facing the canal are frescoes depicting Thorvaldsen's return from Rome in 1838. In addition to Thorvaldsen's works the museum contains his own private art collection.
The museum is one of Denmarks oldest buildings.
