Kunstindustrimuseet
The Danish Museum of Art & Design is one of Scandinavia’s central exhibition forums for Danish and international industrial design, decorative and applied arts. The museum’s collections, library and archives constitute a main resource centre for the study of design and its history in Denmark.

The museum was founded in 1890 by the Industriforeningen i København and the Ny Carlsberg Museumslegat, and opened five years later in a completely new museum building situated on what is now H.C. Andersens Boulevard. Since 1926, the museum has been housed in one of Copenhagen’s finest rococo buildings, the former King Frederik’s Hospital. This edifice was built in 1752-57 to designs by the architects Niels Eigtved and Lauritz de Thurah.

The museum garden, the Grønnegård, can be enjoyed by everyone during museum opening hours. In the summer it serves as the performance space for the Grønnegård Theatre’s productions for children and adults. Refreshments are served outdoors by the museum´s café.
