Beautiful building housing an impressive collection of geological samples. Nice to visit even if you are not interested in geology.
If you would look up the word museum in an old illustrated dictionary this museum would be exactly what you'd expect to find.response / report this review -

Old and honorable place. Geology in a way only geology can be. Visited the impressive Microsculpure exhibition.

Unfortunately the TICKET PRICE GOT MORE EXPENSIVE (75ddk for adults, 50ddk for students and children) so I wasn't able to visit the museum, because I didn't have my student card with me and only 55ddk.

Interesting little museum, but be warned that many of the exhibits are older, with much of the signage in Danish only. Upstairs houses most of the newer exhibits plus some temporary ones from time to time.

A really nice "old-style" museum. You can have fun looking the minerals, gems and learn about them. Also, the temporary exhibitions are very nice.
There only things is that sometimes, in some areas, all the info is in Danish, that's why I only rate 4 starts.response / report this review -

Boring as hell, almost nothing is translated or explained in an interesting manor, probably unchanged since the 80's. Much more interesting things to do in Copenhagen

A large collection with some interesting exhibits. A mix of old and new, clearly some exhibits haven't been updated in many years (as you can tell by the look, but also some of the content, eg Pluto listed as a planet), but others seem recent.
Very inexpensive entrance at 40kr for adults. Important to note that about half of the exhibits only have Danish text; however there is enough in English to keep non-Danish speakers entertained as well.response / report this review -

Nice meteorite at the entrance. Everything goes down hill after that. Very cheap entrance, but exhibition is frozen in the 1970s. For instance, there are some nice rocks from Jugosławia and Africa city. Most exhibitions are all in Danish and content wise they are equivalent to primary school geography class. Some rooms smell weird. On the second floor you will find and exhaustive collection of one (and sometimes two) of every rock on the planet. This sound fun, and it is for the first 3 minutes, but it is a bit like watching paint dry after that. One of the hallways in the otherwise nice building seemed to be painted by the local kindergarteners with blindfolds on (what a way to ruin a building!). What this place needs is a serious remodeling. Hire a newly graduated Liberal Arts and Sciences student and bring some life (and political correctness) back to this otherwise depressing building. The displays don't attract the eye and it really is only interesting to someone with a degree or a or a keen interest in geology. If you have 1.5 hrs 2.5 euros and no expectations then drop by.

Second floor has a huge mineral collection. Some very unique samples too. Changing exhibits are interesting as well. There's a curious and rare exhibit with some nice odd things to see. Huge meteorite in the square. Overall, about 2 hours to see. And at 40 kroner, pretty inexpensive.

Beautiful historic building. Great exhibitions. Including local geological history.
The Greenland Room doesn't really communicate the long corporation with Greenland's Geological Surveys.
On the other side the Natural Historical room replica from 1600 something with oddities and curiosities is really original and also worth a visit.response / report this review
