Visit the Danish Jewish Museum, set in a 17th-century house with a bold contemporary interior. See objects and mementos that trace Jewish life in Denmark, then rest in the small garden outside.
Full description
The Danish Jewish Museum occupies a 17th-century house next to Christiansborg, its striking contemporary interior shaping how the story is told. Displays of objects and mementos follow how Jewish people have lived in, survived in and contributed to Denmark over the centuries, and two short films at the start get praise from visitors.
Reviewers call it small but well laid out and interesting. Allow about 45 minutes.
The little garden beside the museum, with a fountain, benches and rose beds, is a quiet place to sit afterwards.

Pretty small place, but the history of the Jews in Denmark was pretty interesting. And the two movies in the beginning were well done.
