The Bakkehus Museum

The Bakkehus Museum and its collection

The Bakkehus Museum is a historic house museum in Copenhagen that dates from the 1520s, having served a number of functions over the years, including as a farmhouse, inn, private home, psychiatric hospital and orphanage, but mostly known to be associated with Knud Lyne Rahbek and his wife, Kamma Rahbek, who used it as a venue for her salons during the Danish Golden Age. The museum consists of a series of memorial rooms dedicated to some of the notabilities who have lived in the building over the years, including Rahbek.
