lazy + busy = neglected blog

Well, I've been here for almost 4 weeks now and the time has gone by so quickly! I've been keeping busy with uni work, site seeing around town and socialising with other exchange students.
So first things first, one of the first places I visited when I arrived was the National Museum. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Copenhagen as a pretty good introduction into Danish Prehistory as well as other things like the Middle Ages and Renaissance, but the prehistoric exhibition was what I found the most interesting. Stone Age fashions, Bronze Age and Renaissance jewellery and hand-crafted objects and Viking runes were the highlights of the museum for me.


There was also a display of toys and Danish modern history that had some interesting examples of Danish Modernist and Art Deco poster designs and Modern furniture. In the toy display there was also an incredible room of elaborate doll-houses which were lit and could be viewed from both sides to show off how they were furnished and decorated. It made me want to be a little girl again so I could play with these amazing houses!
