OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

Statens Museum for Kunst sits right by Rosenborg Slot, a short walk from Nørreport Station, so it slots easily into a day in the city centre. Everyone under 18 gets in free, and the Copenhagen Card and the Parkmuseerne ticket both cover admission. The MAGNOLIA café can be visited without a museum ticket, which makes it an easy place to regroup before or after the galleries. The trade-off is the calendar: the museum is closed on Mondays, and the exhibitions start closing shortly before closing time, after which no tickets are sold and no one is let in.
