The Museum’s exquisite period interiors and the Castle’s splendid rooms provide a sensory impression of the changing styles and eras, and the social conventions of former ages. The Museum’s portrait collection is the largest in Denmark, and the collection of paintings, busts, drawings and photographs is constantly being supplemented with new works.
With its temporary exhibitions, guided tours and seasonal activities for children the Museum sustains the dialogue with the past and puts the history of Denmark and portrait art in perspective.

Frederiksborg Slot Denmark Map
Frederiksborg Slot or ‘Frederiksborg Castle’ in Northwest Zealand, Denmark, was originally built in 1560 by Frederik II and expanded by Christian IV. Following a fire in 1859, which ravaged much of the castle, Frederiksborg Slot was restored and now serves in large part as Denmark’s National History Museum. Frederiksborg Slot though is still considered one of the finest Renaissance palaces in Scandinavia. Before entering the building, it was hard not to spend time admiring all the architectural and ornate details in the building’s facade. We did the self-guided tour using their free audio guides on iPods and available in various languages.
