Designmuseum of Denmark

Designmuseum of Denmark

Denmark has consistently been at the forefront of global innovative design. From furniture and decor to posters and toys, immerse yourself in the world of Danish design by visiting the Designmuseum Denmark.

Located near the Amalienborg Palace, the former hospital of King Frederick houses the Designmuseum Denmark. This museum showcases an extensive collection of objects and posters that encapsulate Denmark's design history. Notable Danish designers such as Poul Henningsen, Kaare Klint, and Arne Jacobsen feature in the exhibit, adding to the museum's rich tapestry of design excellence.

The majority of the museum is dedicated to chair design, the undisputed highlight of Danish design. Passing through the rooms of art on display allows visitors to see the evolution of chair design from the past 100 years and encounter pieces that have left a lasting imprint on Danish design throughout the last 400 years.

At Designmuseum Denmark, visitors will also find several toys and decor objects on display, as well as exhibits highlighting fashion, graphic design, and photography. Additionally, the museum is home to various open spaces like the garden, library, and cafeteria, all decorated with furniture pieces designed by Poul Kjærholm and Hans J. Wegner.
