A library and two museums

Diary 2014-17
Where: A library and two museums
When: 27th June 2014

Denmark’s “Nationalmuseet” has an absorbing chronology of Viking technical and social history; after which it drops-off.  The Danish Design Centre, similarly enticing, requires more patience to appreciate the subtle evolution.  “Black Diamond” the C21 extension to the C17 Royal Library, demonstrates that virtue of quality across the centuries and houses an awesome collection of old texts from Tycho Brahe to HC Andersen and further afield.
