Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and it wasn’t too cold! I went to the National Museum which is housed in an 18th century palace complete with gardens and displays of what part of the palace actually looked like when it was inhabited. Below are some of the things that caught my eye…
This is the entrance to the museum
Horns used by people during the iron age. They were used to make sounds believed to possibly pay homage to the beloved sun gods.
Just some of the rune stones found from viking times made to commemorate different important events of the time.
The grand ballroom of the palace the way it would have looked in 1743
A display of an 18th century burgeois home from Aalborg, Denmark focusing on the amazing cabinetry and woodwork of the time.
The drinking horn decorated with gold and jewels. Some might say that it was the original pimp cup.
This is a painting that was made in such a way that the figures can only be made out by looking at it’s reflection on the cylinder in the center… very cool.
