Not as much your average museum, much more locally focussed. The information in English is limited, but I would still recommend if you're interested in Bornholm stories.

Small old style museum that gives a good insight on the history of Bornholm. The collection on the archeological excavations at Sorte Muld (near Svaneke) is exceptional and contains many of the gold “gullgubben” that are found.

A really good museum for a small place. Very extensive collection and the employee kindly explained everything there was to see in detail.

A nice local museum. From ancient up to the Russian occupation. There are a few translation sheets in the rooms- those are very helpful for the non Danish speakers. Sadly the new film about the occupation has no translation.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
