Overview

The Royal Cast Collection is part of the SMK, but you'll find the over 2000 casts, which make up the collection, at the Westindian Warehouse. Originally the warehouse was built to accommodate sugar and rum. But in 1984 the Royal Cast Collection moved in and turned the warehouse into an exhibitionspace. The Royal Cast Collection will be open for special events, so you can explore thousands of naked figures, which unveils the stories about everything from pagan gods to Christian stories.

Big Statues

This 3 floored museum with limited Egyptian collection is a good place to visit. It is free, near Nyhavn and little mermaid. There is place for artistes to draw; there are really big statues and English speaking staff. It is more about sculptures not paintings...More

Give them a budget and a real museum!

To the Danish Minister of Culture: Give this royal collection a budget and its own proper museum building! The royal casts collection is unique in European Culture and deserves a better faith. What a wonderful collection to see together. If I where an art student,...More

Something different

As we walked along the waterfront from the Amalienborg Palace heading to the little mermaid, we had a pleasant surprise. After encountering a large statue of David, we discovered the Royal Cast Collection in the building behind it. We were privileged to see a fabulous...More

One of the largest collection of plaster casts in Europe, the Royal Cast Collection offers a fantastic insight into classical & Renaissance sculpture and into the making of plaster casts. Entry is free and the staff of the gallery are happy to talk to visitors...More
