77. Kongernes Samling Rosenborg

Show sight on map

The collection of the kings, formerly the chronological collection of the Danish kings, is a museum collection associated with the royal house, whose purpose is to tell Danish history elucidated from the kings. The museum has three departments, Rosenborg Castle, the Amalienborg Museum and Koldinghus. The establishment was done by Royal Resolution of May 4, 1833, where a Commission was set up "to a Chronological Scheme and the Set up of the Art Cases, etc., which were stored at Rosenborg Castle". Five years later you could open the door to the audience at Rosenborg. The museum decisively broke with contemporary exhibition principles. A number of interiors were created in chronological order, where the individual spaces told about the individual king and his contemporaries. The starting point was Rosenborg's builder, Christian 4. Since then, space was added to Christian 8., Frederik 7 and Christian 9. in 1994. Since January 1, 2021, Koldinghus has also been a branch of the Kings Collection.
