Danish Natural History Museum, Natural history museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Danish Natural History Museum is a natural history museum in Copenhagen housing millions of scientific specimens from many fields. The collections feature taxidermied animals, fossils, minerals, meteorites, and plant materials gathered from around the world.
The museum was formed in 2004 by combining four separate institutions with origins reaching back to the 1600s. The oldest holdings come from private collections that scholars assembled during that era.
The museum reflects Copenhagen's role as a center for scientific exploration and discovery over centuries. Visitors can see how the city's scholars gathered and studied the natural world.
The location is easy to reach and offers several exhibition areas you can explore at your own pace. It helps to check the day you plan to visit, as opening hours vary throughout the week.
A new building is being constructed within the Botanical Garden and will consolidate all collections when completed. The project will reshape how the museum operates and how visitors experience natural collections.
Opening Hours: Monday-Tuesday 10:00-17:00, Wednesday 10:00-21:00, Thursday-Sunday 10:00-17:00
