Revitalising the Botanical Garden

Like so many parts of Copenhagen the Botanical Garden is being dug up and revitalised. You can still visit it even though a large part looks like a construction site. And it will be even more of a construction site as the new Natural History Museum will be situated here in a part of the garden by 2017.

A whale of a time

The Natural History Museum of Denmark houses one of the world's largest collections of whale skeletons. The museum is slightly off the usual route for tourists and unfortunately does not get enough feet through the door.

However, a number of the very large specimens are now exhibited in Maskinhallen in the corner of The Botanical Garden - in the company of the fin whale which beached in Vejle in 2010.

This exhibition is well worth a visit and the display is open from the 16th of May to 21st of October 2012.
