The world of musical instruments Trace the history of music with a visit to Denmark’s most comprehensive collection of instruments from all over the world at the Danish Music Museum, close by the gardens of Rosenborg Castle. The museum’s evocative exhibitions provide a historic journey through the fascinating world of European musical instruments, with a special emphasis on the period from the renaissance to the beginning of the 20th century. See such curiosities as the amoeba-shaped violin and the giraffe-piano. Or visit one of the many permanent thematic exhibitions focusing on for example the raucous guitars of the mid-60’s Danish rock bands, or the ingenious creations of Danish instrument-makers.
