Copenhagen Diaries | Quiet Winter Days, Art Galleries and Museums

Advertisements

In December I spent a few days in Copenhagen. I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the city and its beautiful museums and galleries. I hope you will enjoy a few videos I made during my time in Copenhagen.

This video below was taken on my first day. I simply walked the streets and rested.

During my second day I visited the Danish National Gallery. I particularly enjoyed a wonderful collection of Henri Matisse’s paintings as well as of Modigliani, Jean Metzinger, Chaim Soutine, Georges Braque, Kobke, Emil Nolde, Jens Sondergaard, Wilhelm Lundstrom, Erik Hoppe, Wilhelm Freddie and many others.

The video below is from my afternoon and evening walk.

Another morning in Copenhagen. I visited The Hirschsprung Collection where I admired a beautiful collection of Anne Archer’s paintings. I loved it so much!

On my ladt day I visited Freetown Christiana, which is a self-governing community in Copenhagen’s Christianshavn borough, established in 1971 in abandoned military barracks with 850–1,000 residents, famous for its alternative lifestyle, self-built houses, cafes. It operates with its own rules, separate from much of the Danish state.

I also spent afternoon at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum which has the most beautiful courtyard with plants and fountain. The focal point of the museum is antique sculpture from the ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, including Egypt, Rome and Greece as well as the collection of paintings that includes an extensive collection of French impressionists and Post-impressionists including Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas and Cézanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Bonnar
