The Victorian Home

The Victorian Home is a museum in Copenhagen that preserves a complete apartment from 1890 with all its original furnishings in place. The rooms contain period furniture, textiles, and decorative items exactly as they were arranged over a century ago.

The building was constructed in 1852 and housed merchant Rudolph Christensen's family for over a century. In 1963, his daughters donated all the contents to the National Museum, preserving the interior exactly as the family had left it.

De kamers laten zien hoe welgestelde Denen in de late negentiende eeuw leefden, met meubels en voorwerpen die de gewoonten en voorkeuren van die tijd weerspiegelen. Het doorlopen van de ruimtes onthult hun dagelijkse routines, hun ideeën over comfort en hoe zij hun huizen inrichtten.

The museum is accessed through guided tours, with materials available in English for international visitors. The space is compact and requires no special physical preparation, allowing most visitors to see everything in around an hour.

The curtains stay intentionally closed to protect fabrics that are over a century old from fading. This creates the impression that the family has only just stepped away, making the spaces feel paused in time.
