This self-owning institution presents six sites: Amalienborg Museum, Christiansborg Palace, the Hermitage Palace, Fredensborg Palace, Koldinghus and Rosenborg Castle. At Rosenborg in Copenhagen the exhibits run chronologically through the line of kings, and the royal costumes go back to Frederik III, when kings sent important garments there after their death. It became a museum in 1834 and opened to the public in 1838.
Denmark's crown jewels are shown as sets, including the emerald set. The collection's objects are owned by the King, who may use some but may not sell or give them away, and they pass from monarch to monarch. The entrance and toilet are wheelchair accessible.
