Since 2020, the Museum of Copenhagen has been housed in an architectural gem at Stormgade 18. The building was constructed in 1893–94 as a public trustee’s office – a place where the state managed the estates of women and children who were legally incapacitated.
The architect H.J. Holm was strongly inspired by the Italian Renaissance when he designed the building, which features vividly decorated ceilings, stained-glass windows, intricate railings, and a distinctive attention to quality and detail.
This weekend, the museum opens its doors and offers free admission to all those interested in architecture and history.
Sign up for a guided tour with curator Thomas Roland and explore every corner of this history-filled building. Two different activity sheets invite children – and the young at heart – to go exploring in the beautiful house.
