Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK)

History of the museum

The Danish royal collections were opened to the public in 1827, and the present building on Sølvgade was finished in 1896. A modern extension by Anna Maria Indrio opened in 1998. The collection is full of paintings from the Danish Golden Age of the early 1800s.
