The Best 4 Museums in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is undoubtedly a city bustling with culture, as evidenced by the existence of world-famous museums and art galleries to satisfy art lovers, design and architecture fans, and history enthusiasts. While the city has around 80 museums ranging in topics from photography to science, we would like to focus on the best four museums, which are (in our opinion) a must-see for everyone visiting Copenhagen.
