About
Davids Samling is a museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, set in a group of elegant townhouses close to Kongens Have, the King's Garden. Its setting alone makes the visit feel different from a large city museum: rooms are arranged at a human scale, and the atmosphere is quiet and intimate.
What you will see
The museum is built around several strands of collecting:
- European decorative arts, displayed in a way that lets you look closely at objects and their craftsmanship.
- Early Danish art, offering a view of the country's artistic heritage.
- Islamic art, which is among the most notable holdings of its kind in Scandinavia.
Who it suits
Davids Samling is best suited to visitors who enjoy art and design and who prefer slow, unhurried looking to a crowded tour. If you are already spending time in the streets around the King's Garden, it makes a natural place to step inside for an hour or two. Those interested in the wider history of design and craft will likely find the most to take away.
