During Danish school holidays (summer, autumn, Christmas and winter breaks), in addition to the regular activities, the museum organizes a variety of seasonal or themed activities tailored for children. Keep an eye on ‘What’s On‘ on the museum’s website leading up to and during the holidays to see current activities.
A museum visit is a fantastic family day out, and a visit to Frederiksborg will bring you all very close to Danish history. It is the museum’s task to tell the story and care for the collection. For preservation reasons, you are not permitted to touch the exhibited paintings, furniture or other objects. When moving around on picture trails and guided tours, either with an audio guide or on your own, it is therefore important that children are accompanied by an adult who can help them navigate this historical setting.
Welcome to Frederiksborg!
Frederiksborg Castle has housed The Museum of National History since 1878, when it was established by brewer J.C. Jacobsen, the founder of Carlsberg. The Museum is still run as a branch of the Carlsberg Foundation.
