From 27 February to 30 May, it will be possible to see how the Crown Prince and Princess have decorated and furnished their future home, as the newly-renovated Frederik VIII's Palace is opening to visitors.

It is usually only possible to see the outside of Frederik VIII's Palace, which is part of Amalienborg, the monarch's winter residence. But over the past six years, the palace has undergone extensive renovations to make it ready for Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary and their children Prince Christian and Princess Isabella to move in.
Before they do, there is an opportunity to see how they will be living.

Modern and classic

The Crown Prince and Princess themselves have helped to decide how the palace has been decorated. Among other things, that means that the interior woodwork has been painted in the same colours as it was when the last major renovation was carried out in 1828. Even though the interior of the palace has been rejuvenated, the grand classical rococo facade has been preserved.

New artwork presented

It is not just the floors, ceilings and woodwork which have received attention.
As part of the renovations, the Crown Prince and Princess, together with the Director of Louisiana Museum, Poul Erik Tøjner, have selected ten Danish artists who will create new art for the palace. It will therefore be possible to see new works of art by artists such as Olafur Eliasson and John Kørner in the palaces.
