Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium

I’m not completely sure if I should be writing the review on this page, since what I’m really reviewing is the Musikmuseet rather than the conservatory. But, here goes.
The music museum is now part of the Nationalmuseet, which is great news because that means funding for beautiful displays and free entry! It’s located in a wing of the conservatory building. You access through the main doors and go up a few flights of stairs. There are signs to direct you. Enjoy the drifting sounds of piano, brass, and other instruments as you go through the building.
The museum itself is not large, in fact you can pretty much see to the end of it from the entrance. However, every item is a marvel to look at and I stayed until closing time without even noticing the time pass (likely would have stayed longer otherwise). Things are laid out chronologically, so by the time you’re at the «end», you’re looking at electric instruments. There are also instruments which are more for art than practice. It’s really a very special place.
Highlights: (1) They have a theremin and you can play it! It’s kind of a genious display item because you have to NOT touch it to play it. Solves that age-​old museum problem of damaged interactive displays. (2) They have a not-​quite-​soundproof room with instruments to try.
