The Thorvaldsen Museum is a single-artist museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The museum is dedicated to the art of Danish neoclassicistic sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844), who lived and worked in Rome for most of his life (1796–1838). The museum is situated on the small island of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen next to Christiansborg Palace. The building was designed by Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll and constructed from 1838-48 following a public collection of funds in 1837.
The museum displays a great collection of the artist's works in marble as well as plaster, including the original plaster models used in the making of bronze and marble statues and reliefs, which are now on display in museums, churches, and at other places around the world. The museum also features paintings, Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiques, drawings, and prints which Thorvaldsen collected during his life, as well as a lot of his personal belongings that he used in his work and everyday life.
