Book your next event at The National Museum of Denmark

Welcome to the heart of Copenhagen, where one of the city's historic crown jewels can provide the perfect setting for your next event.
Both private individuals and businesses can rent spaces at the National Museum, located in the historic and beautiful Prince’s Palace. The National Museum offers a wide range of rooms, suitable for everything from small, intimate gatherings to grand dinners, parties, and receptions for several hundred guests.

At the National Museum, our guests come first. That's why we organize events in close collaboration with you and the museum’s long-standing partner, Madkastellet—an award-winning restaurant group with more than 15 years of experience. Madkastellet also operates Restaurant Smör at the National Museum.

On this page, you can get an overview of the museum's venues and possibilities. We coordinate everything from setting up furniture, sound, and AV equipment, and we’re happy to assist with creative ideas.

You can also combine your meeting, conference, or celebration with a guided tour of one of the museum’s exhibitions.
