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
