Copenhagen Amber Museum

The museum holds an extensive collection of amber antiques and artifacts, including a wide array of entombed insects from prehistoric times.

Its current appearance is largely due to an adaptation in the 1780s which added an extra floor and the Mansard roof.

Through the years the house has been inhabited by all kinds of people from barbers, tobacco spinners, carpenters, grocers and even the lackey of a noble count.

[3] [4][5] One of the main attractions of the museum is the collection of more than 100 pieces of amber with inclusions of insects and plants.

Magnifying glasses enable the visitor to observe the more than 30 million year-old insects and plants closely.
