Opened in 1848 on Slotsholmen, Thorvaldsens Museum was built by Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll to house the works and collections the Neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen bequeathed to Copenhagen. Its colourful vaulted halls hold his sculptures, plaster models and drawings, alongside his personal collections of antiquities, casts and paintings. Thorvaldsen himself is buried in the museum's inner courtyard.
