Lonely Planet review for Thorvaldsens Museum

One of the most distinctive buildings in Copenhagen, this colourful Greco-Roman mausoleum with its classically inspired friezes was the country’s first purpose-built art museum. It houses the majority of works produced during the long and illustrious career of Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). Thorvaldsen spent much of his working life in Rome, where he drew inspiration from classical mythology. The museum contains a fascinating collection of the artist’s own collection of art and ancient artefacts from the Mediterranean region…and the artist himself, buried in the main room.
