Helsingør Bymuseet
This Renaissance townhouse was built in 1520 by Carmelite friars as a hospital for foreign sailors suffering from diseases; time has erased that sad history. Today it's the "attic" of Helsingør, a magnificent Renaissance townhouse filled with the city's relics. Children, or at least little girls, gravitate to the collection of 200 antique dolls. There is also a fine-scale model of Helsingør in 1801. The banquet hall on the main floor is filled with the chief goodies, artifacts left over from the golden age of Helsingør when it was a major shipping center. As for some of those portraits, they evoke the type you hide in your own family attic. In the basement are relics of the Middle Ages, best left undisturbed in our view.
