Book Synopsis

A study of The National Museum of Denmark which celebrated its 200 year anniversary in 2007.

  • T. B. Jakobsen traces this development in great detail and with a high degree of accuracy until 1848, at the dawn of democracy
  • An unusual and thought-provoking collection - no other main European museum is documented to such degree
  • A study into a highly important aspect of the Danish Golden Age of the days of Søren Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Andersen
  • Includes comprehensive minutes which hold all information on collection, excavation, conservation, exhibition, economics, studies and visitors
