Det Nationalhistoriske Museum paa Frederiksborg Slot: en Vejledning for Besøgende

This guidebook was published as an official resource for visitors to the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, a site located in Hillerød, Denmark. Established in 1878 within the walls of the 17th-century royal palace, the museum was founded by J.C. Jacobsen, the proprietor of the Carlsberg breweries, to house a comprehensive collection of portraits, historical paintings, and furniture that chronicled Danish history. The guidebook was produced to serve as a structured narrative for guests exploring the ornate chambers and the extensive historical art galleries contained within the Renaissance-style structure.

The publication acts as a curatorial companion, reflecting the museum’s mission to preserve the cultural memory of the Danish monarchy and the nation's political evolution. Its design and content emphasize the architectural significance of the castle, which was largely rebuilt by King Christian IV. By guiding visitors through the chronological display of art, the volume bridges the gap between the building’s functional history as a royal residence and its modern status as a cultural repository, ensuring that the legacy of Danish identity remains accessible to a public audience.
