This colourful Greco-Roman mausoleum
is dedicated to the art of Danish neoclassicistic sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.

Here you'll find the majority of works produced during the long and illustrious career of Thorvaldsen (1770–1844).

The museum displays a comprehensive collection of the artist's works in marble as well as plaster, including the original plaster models used in the making of cast bronze and marble statues and reliefs, which are now on display in museums, churches, and at other locations around the world. The museum also features paintings, Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiques, drawings, and prints that Thorvaldsen collected during his lifetime, as well as a wide array of personal belongings that he used in his work and everyday life.
