Our first stop was the Statens Museum for Kunst ("kunst" means art in Danish) which has a fabulous collection of renowned Danish artists and a great modern art collection.
INFORMATION!
Next, I went on a trip with my Nordic Mythology class to the Viking museum in Roskilde (which is about a 30 min drive outside the city). This boat you see here was found in the water along with 4 others in the 1960's. All of the boats date back to the 11th century and were used to protect Roskilde, which was then Denmark's Capitol.
View from land in Roskilde.
Viking Clothes: comfy AND made out of animal byproducts.
Viking ship launch: this may or may not have been a reenactment....but everyone looks normal so i'm gonna say not.
Iron age burial mound.
The Danish countryside.
More countryside. (This also happens to be near where Beowulf was said to have taken place).
After returning to the Cope my next stop was the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. As you can see we were greeted by some aincent, greek, and not-so-familiar faces! The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by Carl Jacobsen, the CEO and son of the founder of Carlsberg.
Glyptotekin it.
Construction decoration!
Today there was more exploring in a different part of the city (forgot camera again.....whoops), and some friends and I tried out a mexican restaurant that we have been eying. I've always wanted to eat mexican food in Denmark! ALSO My parents get here tomorrow so I'll be posting about that next. I think we are going to Norway!
Love, Becca
