do you have a favourite place you've visited (for world meetings or otherwise)?

I went to @ask-therulerofscandinavia 's place once for a business meeting, he took me to see Frederiksborg Palace and Legoland! It was a very nice experience and I wouldn't mind spending cash there again!

”Entombment of Christ” - ”Kristi Gravlæggelse” - painted between 1865 and 1879 by Carl Heinrich Bloch (1834 - 1890). Oil on copper plate; dimensions: 104.1 x 83.8 cm or 41 x 33 in. Current locetion: Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Palace in Hillerød north of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The body of Christ, wrapped in a clean linen sheet, rests on a wooden bier at the entrance of the tomb. Joseph of Arimathaea stands at the rectangular opening hewn from the rock and directs the placement of the body. Since it was the burial custom of the Jews, Nicodemus makes the final preparations by placing the spices in the linen cloth that enfolds the body of the Lord. The mourners stand near the feet of Jesus. John, holding the crown of thorns, is with both the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. White flowers alongside the bier indicate the hope of the Resurrection.

Carl Heinrich Bloch was born in Copenhagen. In January 1849, he began study at the Royal Danish Academy of Art and in 1855 he became a member of it. In 1859, he received a travel grant, which he used to study in Holland, France, and Italy. Carl Bloch met his wife, Alma Trepka, in Rome, where he married her in May 1868. They had a very happy and prosperous life together until her early death in January 1886. The sorrow over losing his wife weighed heavily on Bloch, and being left alone with their eight children after her death was very difficult for him. He died of cancer on February 22, 1890.

Hey Zelia! I'm planning on visiting Copenhagen in the summer and I was wondering, what would you recommend seeing as a royal watcher and as a regular tourist?

Hi anon! Sorry for replying so late 🙃 That sounds very exciting! Maybe this tag would be interesting to you.

I'd definitely recommend a day trip to Hillerød to visit Frederiksborg Palace. I've raved on about it before but it's just my favourite of all our palaces. It's the most accessible (in terms of how much of the palace you're allowed access to); it always has bomb ass exhibitions but even without the exhibitions, there's so much to see and take in; and the palace gardens are stunning and definitely worth a visit. AND the Mary50 exhibition at Frederiksborg runs to 31 August!

Speaking of current exhibitions, of course there's also the Amalienborg Museum's much talked about jewellery exhibition. I haven't seen it personally – I got the book on which it was based for my birthday and I'm satisfied with that considering how relatively expensive the museum is to visit 🙈 But if you're a jewellery buff, I suppose that's definitely worth a visit.

As for non-royal things, I can't remember when I've mentioned in past posts but off the top of my head: the National Gallery (Statens Museum for Kunst), Davids Samling (the David Collection), Thorvaldsens Museum (the Thorvaldsen Museum), Reffen (street food market), Cisternerne and Blågårdsgade (>>>>>> Strøget) ✌️ If you want more information or recommendations, feel free to ask again 😊
