The exhibition shows glimpses from the exciting history of the museum. The founding of the museum and its history during the past 100 years is illustrated with pictures and texts and old as well as new press photographs which shows the fantastic number of famous and royal guests who have visited the museum. Four generations of Danish monarchs and five generations of royalty have paid a visit – in addition to a large number of international celebrities ranging from Juri Gagarin to Indira Gandhi and from Nikita Krustjev to Danny Kaye.
