About Thorvaldsens Museum
This striking ochre and blue building houses the complete works of Denmark's most celebrated sculptor, Bertel Thorvaldsen, who spent 40 years in Rome. The neoclassical marble sculptures and the artist's personal collection of ancient art fill rooms decorated with original painted ceilings.
Insider Tips
Thorvaldsen himself is buried in the museum's inner courtyard, an unusual feature that few visitors realize as they walk through.
