Copenhagen is one of the most beautiful European cities, impregnated with the spirit of Western culture. But there is one place here that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the Ancient East. And this place is a museum of David in Copenhagen , or a collection of David. It is named in honor of the founder - Christian Ludwig David. It was he who at the beginning of the XIX century began to collect rare specimens of Islamic art, brought to Denmark by local entrepreneurs and travelers. Soon the subjects of decorative and applied art accumulated so much that the owner of the collection decided to open the museum. The David collection is considered to be the largest collection of such exhibits not only in Denmark , but also in Western Europe.
What to see?
The collection of the Museum of David has hundreds and thousands of objects of decorative and applied art, which relate not only to Eastern, but also to Western culture. Here you can consider:
- products made of silk;
- porcelain ware;
- unique jewelry;
- antique furniture;
- ancient manuscripts;
- carpet products;
- silverware and much more.
Due to the fact that Christian David often received guests from the Middle East, his collection can be safely called rich and unique. Walking through the halls, you can easily imagine yourself in one of the bazaars in Baghdad or Istanbul. This is also facilitated by light twilight in the pavilions.
The undoubted advantage of this museum is its free entrance. Here you will be provided with special tablets with audio guides in a variety of languages. If necessary, for a fee, you can use the services of a professional guide. On the territory of the museum there is a souvenir shop where you can buy memorabilia - books about the museum, posters or board games. The Museum of David will help you to escape from the bustle of this European city and plunge into the atmosphere of the fabulous Ancient East.
How to get there?
To get to the museum, using public transport , you can in two ways: by metro to Norrepot or Kongens Nytorv stations, as well as by bus route number 36 to Kongensgade stop and from there go a couple of blocks to the crossroads Kronprinsessegade. You can also rent a car and get directions.
