  • A study of The National Museum of Denmark which celebrated its 200 year anniversary in 2007
  • Sees a nation in world context, tracing its roots back to C.J. Thomsen's famous collection on Danish prehistory through to the age of science
  • T. B. Jakobsen traces this development in great detail and with a high degree of accuracy until 1848, at the dawn of democracy
  • An unusual and thought-provoking collection - no other main European museum is documented to such degree
  • A study into a highly important aspect of the Danish "Golden Age" of the days of Søren Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Andersen
  • Includes comprehensive minutes which hold all information on collection, excavation, conservation, exhibition, economics, studies and visitors
