Changes to Pensioner Admission from 2027

From 1 January 2027, free admission on Tuesdays for pensioners will no longer be available at Thorvaldsen’s Museum, Nikolaj Kunsthal or the Museum of Copenhagen. Free admission for everyone on Wednesdays will continue.
The change follows a decision by Copenhagen City Council. Until the end of this year, pensioners can still enjoy free admission on Tuesdays.
There will still be plenty of opportunities to enjoy art, culture and history at the three venues next year, either free of charge or at a reduced price:

• Free admission every Wednesday: everyone can visit all three venues without paying an entrance fee.
• Annual pass: an annual pass gives you access to all three venues throughout the year.
• Copenhagen Card: the Copenhagen Card provides access to all three venues, as well as a wide range of other attractions.
• Children and young people under 18: admission is always free.
• Platform: Nikolaj Kunsthal’s project space for contemporary art is free to visit for everyone.

We look forward to continuing to welcome both new and familiar visitors.
