Breakfast & brunch near Designmuseum Danmark

Designmuseum Danmark is where the story behind the furniture everyone recognises is actually told. The chair collection alone runs through the whole twentieth century, alongside ceramics, textiles, silver, posters and a strong holding of Chinese and Japanese decorative art.

The building is part of the appeal. It is a converted rococo hospital in Frederiksstaden with a garden courtyard in the middle. Displays are thematic rather than exhaustive, which makes it an easy museum to enjoy in an hour and a half.

It sits in Indre By, close to Amalienborg and the Marble Church, so it slots neatly into a royal-quarter morning that starts with coffee in one of the small cafés on the surrounding streets.
