Thorvaldsen Museum, Artist museum in Slotsholmen, Denmark.

The Thorvaldsen Museum contains marble sculptures, plaster models, drawings, and prints created by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen throughout his career.

The museum opened its doors in 1848 as Denmark's first public museum building, following a nationwide fundraising campaign initiated by Hans Puggaard in 1837.

The museum exhibits Greek, Roman, and Egyptian antiques alongside Thorvaldsen's personal belongings, reflecting his artistic influences and daily life in Rome.

Located next to Christiansborg Palace, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM with guided tours available.

The building features an inner courtyard decorated with Egyptian motifs, including date palms and animal depictions, where sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen remains buried.
