Danish National Museum

On Friday afternoon my friends, Evan Perlman and Tom Knight, and I decided to go to the Danish National Museum, which is in the city center. The museum exists in the Prince's Palace, which used to house the royal family in the 18th century.

Incredible place; it was great to learn a lot more about the history of the country I currently reside in. It was actually quite overwhelming. I am astounded by the interconnection that existed between European kingdoms from hundreds of years ago.

Lucky for us, there was also an exhibit on Vikings. I was very attracted to this because my ancestors were Vikings, Norwegians though.
