Thorvaldsens Museum

As if getting access to socialised medicine isn’t enough, when you get your Danish CPR number you also get free tickets to a museum as well. With the expiry date approaching, and quite frankly no idea what the museum was about, we went to Thorvaldsens Museum. Turns out Bertel Thorvaldsen did a whole lot of impressive neoclassicistic statues in the early 1800s, including one statue of Jesus that according to wiki was at one point ‘considered the most perfect statue of Christ in the world’. Big claim.

Thorvaldsen himself is buried in the middle of the museum courtyard, so it’s a very elaborate memorial to him. It’s worth visiting just for the building layout alone, and for the floors. The floor game is very, very strong. I personally can’t handle the instagram #ihavethisthingwithfloors hashtag, but if you do #havethisthingwithfloors then this is the place for you. You’ll lose your mind.

This is the point in proceedings where I post a whole bunch of manly statues. You can basically quit now if that is not your jam (i.e. Mum), or really start concentrating if it is your jam (heads up to Anna – there is a special statue for you in the mix).
