New Museum District Attracts Visitors in the Green Heart of Copenhagen New museum district attracts visitors in the green heart of Copenhagen With the launch of Parkmuseerne, visitors to Copenhagen may now saunter through green gardens and parks along a trail of museums. The new museum district attracts visitors with interests in art, nature, history and film. Parkmuseerne consist of six participating museums: The David Collection, The Filmhouse, The Hirschsprung Collection, SMK (National Gallery of Denmark), The Natural History Museum of Denmark and Rosenborg Castle. The museums are all within walking distance of each other, and this spring Parkmuseerne are launching an advantageous combined ticket. Parkmuseerne is a museum district in the center of Copenhagen, and is home to the largest and most important collections of artefacts in Denmark. Here visitors can experience the very best that nature and art has to offer. Spend a whole day in the parks and the museums. For example, you can choose to take a historical tour through the highlights in Parkmuseerne: At Rosenborg Castle you can explore the Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia, which sparkle in the treasuries. Next door at The Natural History Museum of Denmark visitors can experience historical specimens such as the world’s biggest meteorite and the beautiful mineral halls. Are you more interested in art? Parkmuseerne houses world-class collections of Danish and international art at SMK (National Gallery of Denmark), The David Collection and The Hirschsprung Collection. Enjoy masterpieces by Matisse, Mantegna, Købke, Hammershøi, the Skagen painters and a significant Islamic collection. Parkmuseerne also has its own cinema – The Filmhouse – which offers a rich repertoire of Danish and international films. Parkmuseerne is a cultural package of adventures, which suits every taste. Take your time, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy the reflections prompted by the various settings. It’s a walk in the park Visiting the museums also prompts guests to visit the parks: the King’s Garden, the Botanical Garden, and the Østre Anlæg Park. The green area creates a haven that allows visitors to slow down, take a rest, visit playgrounds, and enjoy a light meal - or a cup of coffee in the surrounding cafés and restaurants. The old and historical parks add an extra dimension to the modern museums visitor – and it encourages the visitors to relax in the green heart of Copenhagen. Six museums – one ticket On the 24th of May, Parkmuseerne will launch a new ticket, which makes it easier to visit the museum district. The ticket provides admission to all six museums: The Hirschsprung Collection, SMK (National Gallery of Denmark), The Natural History Museum of Denmark (Geological Museum), and Rosenborg Castle, a free cinema ticket to the Filmhouse and a 10% discount on publications at The David Collection.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily
    2018 V From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily Christopher Mielke Article: From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily From Her Head to Her Toes: Gender-Bending Regalia in the Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Queen of Hungary and Sicily Christopher Mielke INDEPENDENT SCHOLAR Abstract: This article re-examines József Deér’s claim that the crown uncovered in the tomb of Constance of Aragon (d. 1222) was originally her husband’s. His argument is based entirely on the shape of the crown itself, and ignores the context of her burial and the other idiosyncrasies of Frederick II’s burial provisions at Palermo Cathedral. By examining the contents of the grave of Constance, and by discussing patterns related to the size of medieval crowns recovered from archaeological context, the evidence indicates that this crown would have originally adorned the buried queen’s head. Rather than identifying it as a ‘male’ crown that found its way into the queen’s sarcophagus as a gift from her husband, this article argues that Constance’s crown is evidence that as a category of analysis, gender is not as simple as it may appear. In fact, medieval crowns often had multiple owners and sometimes a crown could be owned, or even worn, by someone who had a different gender than the original owner. This fact demonstrates the need for a more complex, nuanced interpretation of regalia found in an archaeological context.

  • Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller
    Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller TOUR OPTION 1 WEDNESDAY, 17 JUNE 2020 17:00 (5PM) sharp! MEET IN THE HOTEL LOBBY FOR A TOUR OF COPENHAGEN’S LATIN QUARTER & A NO-HOST DINNER. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE OUR VERY OWN COMMANDER JENS A. VEXO. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE Latinerkvarteret Stylish Latinerkvarteret, or the Latin Quarter, is known for charming, colorful buildings on Mejlgade street, including the 17th- century Juul’s House. Buzzing Pustervig Square is home to global eateries and hip cafes serving traditional smørrebrød open- faced sandwiches. Cultural venues include East of Eden, a tiny cinema showing foreign and indie films, and the Women’s Museum, telling 150 years of women’s stories. The neighborhood dates back to the 1200’s, with the founding of a Latin school (hence the name), and later, the University of Copenhagen was created here in the 1400’s, lending an air of intellectual vibrancy to the narrow streets lined with medieval buildings. And while it’s an ideal place for visitors to base themselves during a visit to the Denmark’s largest city, it’s also convenient. From here, some of the best drinking, eating and sites in the city are all about a ten-minute walk away, in neighborhoods like Vesterbro and Indre By (the city center). We will visit… Rosenborg Castle Far more intimate than Europe’s usual imperial palaces, the turreted 17th-century Rosenborg Castle has three cozy floors with gilded chambers, chinoiserie, and intricate tapestries. In warm months, pick up lunch to go from the nearby smørrebrød shop Aamanns and go for a picnic on the lush grounds.

  • Rituals of Power and Symbols of Monarchy
    CHAPTER 2 Rituals of Power and Symbols of Monarchy The term rituals of power covers a rich and extremely varied complex of sym­ bolic acts, public displays of power and often extravagant festivities accom­ panying these ceremonies. Symbols of monarchy found perhaps their most conspicuous expression in the inauguaration rituals that provide the ceremo­ nial framework for a sovereign’s elevation to the sacral status of kingship. In medieval Europe this typically comprised enthronement, anointment and crowning ceremonies, recorded in ecclesiastical orders (ordines), which have been studied for many years.1 Ironically enough, there are almost no surviving records that depict all the phases of inauguration rituals (coronations in par­ ticular) in the medieval Hungary of the Árpád era (1000–1301). Throughout the entire early and high Middle Ages, we have to rely on sketchy references and vague clues for information on investitures in the Árpád dynasty. Hungarian coronations can be studied only from the late Middle Ages, beginning with the 14th century and, in greater detail, from the 15th century onwards. It is in nar­ rative sources from this period that the earliest more detailed descriptions of coronations survive, as well as in the first pontifical that includes the 1438 ordo coronationis. However, many historians believe that it can be safely assumed that the Pontificale Romanum, compiled by bishop William Durandus and widely used in Europe, had come into use in Hungary by the time of Louis the Great (1342–1382).2 The concept of the Holy Crown and the resulting unique 1 Die Ordines für Weihe und Krönung des Kaisers und der Kaiserin.
