THE COURT YARD

The museum courtyard is currently inaccessible due to renovation work on the building’s façades.

Take a rest in the courtyard of the museum, where nineteenth-century artists have created a peaceful framework around Thorvaldsen’s grave, with their decorations of the walls with plants and flowers from north and south. Here you can lean back between the painted palms and laurels and on a summer’s day you can dream your way to Italy, where Thorvaldsen lived for forty years.
