It may be boring if design isn't your thing - but for those who are interested, this place is a hidden gem! Note that it's FREE if you show them your student ID card. It's also close to Kastellet (with the Little Mermaid) and Amalienborg Palace.

We enjoyed the historic and modern furniture of Denmark. The cafe was very pleasant and had good prices.

We visited the Danish Design Museum in the spring of 2013 and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, going from room to room, seeing the extensive and thoroughly explained exhibits and then walking in the gardens in the museum courtyard. The history of Danish Design is well documented in the museum, and the exhibits are taking you through time of modern Danish Design.... More

If you are a chair lover, worth going anyway. around 2 hours tour. And btw, also nice chair in the cafe.

Denmark is famous for its design and here is the place to know more about it. A place for design and furniture lovers. The museum is not big, but it gives a good idea of how design has evolved in the 20th century.

The building itself, wasn't very impressive like some others in Denmark. Nonetheless the staff is very nice, and there was an exposition focussing on records and record players! as an enthousiast i really enjoyed this exposition. Also, it's free for students!
