My ignorance about the history of Denmark (and Scandinavian countries) shows. Sure, we have this notion of Viking Age that reigned supreme, and I don’t know about you, but I have embarassingly little knowledge of Danes’ cultural identity, their nation, their kinship, etc. We popped in to the National Museum of Denmark, hoping to learn a few more things, and then we were duly lured by the bright sunshine outside to leave… Terrible, I know.

The collection of religious art and artefacts is rather unusual to our eyes that are used to more Italian and French depiction of Christianity. There are certain angularity to the icons that render them quite unique. Or at least I have not seen such a form elsewhere in my travel thus far. More reason to travel to places unknown, won’t you agree with me? ;)
