The Queen's gobelinsThere is no doubt, however, that the Museum's highlight is Bjørn Nørgaard's sketches for Queen Margrethe II's gobelins. The finished woven tapestries are on view in the Great Hall of Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, and in Køge you can see the 17 full size sketches.
The sketches provided the pattern for the weavers in addition to more than 3000 minor sketches of all the details for the impressive work, which depicts 1000 years of Danish history.
