Thorvaldsens Museum

Slotsholmen · Sculpture Museum · $

The whole nation built this for one sculptor and put him in the middle of it. It's a temple to a single artist — I know nowhere else like it.

Denmark's first public museum, built 1848 as tomb-and-temple for the neoclassical sculptor Thorvaldsen — saturated Pompeian colour, the man buried in the courtyard.
