reopening

January 03, 2020/ John Heward

On the 7 February 2020, the Museum of Copenhagen will reopen in its new home at Stormgade 18.

Close to the city hall in the centre of Copenhagen, the building by the architect H J Holm (1835-1916) dates from the 1890s.

Leth & Gori are the architects responsible for the restoration work and for work on the adjoining building at Stormgade 20 for offices for the museum.

Københavns Museum is now part of a city department for culture called Historie & Kunst / History and Art that includes Københavns Stadsarkiv / the City Archive, Thorvaldsens Museum and Nikolaj Kunsthal
