I must admit, I loved walking through Copenhagen’s art galleries, particularly as they allow you to remember your experiences by taking photos (unlike those in Amsterdam and Canberra whose paintings I have now largely forgotten), and encourage others to visit.<\/p>\n

Denmark’s national gallery is the Statens Museum for Kunst<\/strong> (Kunst is Danish for art):<\/p>\n

\"figures\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Michael Kvium’s “Choir”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"choir\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the delightful “Artist’s wife and child”:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"wife<\/a><\/p>\n

So many more goodies from this gallery can be seen in my album here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next is the Glyptotek<\/strong> which is primarily statues from Ancient Roman and Greek era such as these ones displayed in this very nice auditorium in which classical music artists play to a silent audience:<\/p>\n

\"auditorium\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you happened to have become bored with Roman and Greek statues after being in Rome or the Louvre, then there is still something else rather special – four beautifully crafted rooms with the most awesome marble sculptures by Stephan Sinding, Rodin<\/strong>, and others, such as this beautiful piece titled “Love” made in 1909 by Stephan Sinding<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Love\"<\/a>
\n
\nand “Death of a maiden” made in 1912 by Elna Borch:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Death<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally, there are a couple of floors of paintings by French Impressionists<\/strong>, plus, a collection of Degas sculptures and figurines.<\/p>\n

For a taste of what you can experience in this enormous collection, see my album here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next we have the collection of works held in the Hirschsprung Gallery such as “Nude woman doing her hair before a mirror” by Eckersberg in 1841<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Nude<\/a><\/p>\n

and one of my favorites, Kroyer’s 1882 “When there is no fishing”<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

More from this art gallery can be seen in my album here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, one should not miss Rosenborg Castle<\/strong> in Copenhagen – it not only contains gems such as this 1667 nude painting of Denmark’s Queen Sophie Amalie with Juno<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Queen<\/a><\/p>\n

some wonderful tapestries, lots of Royal artefacts, and the Treasury displays the Royal jewels including these crowns with incredibly large rubies and sapphires:<\/p>\n

\"Queen<\/a><\/p>\n

More of these from Rosenborg Castle can be seen in my album here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of the indoor photos from these art galleries and castles were taken with the Panasonic GH-1 Micro Four Thirds<\/a> camera with Leica-D 25mm f\/1.4 without flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
