Explore the Workers Museum, where Copenhagen's labour history unfolds across four well-organised floors. Step inside a 1915 apartment, follow the fight behind Denmark's welfare system, and finish with smørrebrød downstairs.
Full description
The Workers Museum in Indre By tells the story of working life in Denmark, including how workers fought to build the country's welfare system. Exhibits run across four floors and include a 1915 apartment as well as displays on industrial and labour conditions, with temporary exhibitions that reviewers say are always worth seeing.
A café and restaurant below the galleries serve a large smørrebrød selection. Allow about an hour, longer if you want a meal.
It rewards visitors interested in social history rather than traditional art.

Interesting exhibitions over several floors. Especially the temporary exhibitions are always worth a visit. Also includes a lovely café & restaurant with a huge smørrebrød selection right below the exhibitions.
