Copenhagen Amber Museum, Amber museum in Kanneworffs House, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Copenhagen Amber Museum exhibits a collection of amber pieces containing preserved insects and plants from prehistoric times.
The museum occupies Kanneworffs House, constructed in 1606, which served as home to barbers, tobacco spinners, and carpenters before housing the amber collection.
The museum displays how Scandinavian people distributed amber across Europe, establishing trade routes and cultural connections through this natural material.
Located at Kongens Nytorv, the museum provides magnifying glasses for visitors to examine the detailed inclusions within amber specimens.
In 2010, the museum acquired Denmark's largest modern amber discovery, weighing 4,125 grams, found by a fisherman during a regular fishing trip.
