Photos of Thorvaldsens Museum

The museum, named after the sculptor Torvaldsen, houses many of his outstanding and exquisite sculptures. Torvaldsen is one of the most influential Danish artists. During his sojourn in Italy, he was deeply influenced by Neoclassicism, so his works mix Greco-Roman and Scandinavian styles to create an intellectual feel. The more recommended ones are the St. Peter Monument built in marble by Thorwaldsen, and his masterpiece "Jason with the Golden Fleece" (Jason with the Golden Fleece). In addition, Torvaldsen is also a collector, so in the museum, you can not only appreciate his own masterpieces, but also see many precious works of art, ancient coins, monuments and cultural relics in his private collection.
