A more learned option for children’s winter half-term

For children who love to learn, the Museum of National History has an entire department dedicated to kids called Danish History for Children.

Located in the old wine cellar of Frederiksborg Castle, the children’s department is open every day during the autumn holiday.

Children can write with feathers and ink and colour in beautiful drawings. Or, if they fancy, dress up in one of the beautiful Renaissance gowns.

And if they’re feeling especially erudite, the exhibition Christian the Fourth – Child and King will tell the story for the famous king of Denmark focusing on his childhood.
