Located just next to Kongens Have (directly on the other side of Rosenborg Slot) is this impressive exhibition that is so proudly well-maintained and it being free of charge, how can one not visit?

Loved seeing the Islamic art! Beautiful pieces with free audio guide in English. Text around exhibits was also in English, but the audio guide was nice to have as well. Really fascinating history presented in a way that was easy to read and understand. Lockers for bags near entry. Highly recommended!

I never expected to see a museum collection so beautifully cared for and laid out so well. What a fabulous museum. The focus is on Islamic art but the museum is worth visiting just to enjoy the superbly kept rooms and surroundings. The Danish paintings and furniture on the first floor are not to be missed.

This is a must see if you are into Islamic art. Beautiful collection, from various countries and through the ages. Take your time as you can dwell here for hours. Also a small Danish furniture etc. collection. Less interesting but worthwhile nevertheless

This museum appears to be tiny at the beginning, but once you move into the Muslim art collection, it is actually huge! Lots of interesting pieces, and it's free! Highly recommend it.

This museum is one of the lesser known in Copenhagen. Really, it is a secret pearl, containing a fairly big and definately very good collection of Middle Eastern / Arabic items. On the 2nd floor is good collection of Danish paintings, predominantly from the first half of the 20th century. Definately worth a visit!

This was on 2 floors covering fabric, rugs, coins, pottery and much more. Very informative and interesting to see how different empires created different things and what did the patterns mean.. If you have an interest in history...would be good to see the David collection ... The entrance is free...

This museum has some excellent collection of Islamic art and coins collections especially with very good interactive description and history behind each. A must see in Copenhagen and worth a visit. The entry is free
