Thorvaldsens Museum-Copenhagen


Corridor on the ground floor.





One of my favourite museums.

 Thorvaldsens Museum is Denmark's oldest and also most extraordinary museum building. Greatest collection of works of Betel Thorvaldsen (1770 - 1844), the biggest name in neoclassical sculpture. After many years of self-imposed exile in Italy (40 years),he returned in triumph to Copenhagen where he died a national figure and was buried here in the courtyard of his own personal museum.
