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
