The official Thorvaldsens Museum app offers free, expert-led audio stories about Bertel Thorvaldsen’s sculptures and the museum's stunning architecture, featuring a unique "Shared Listening" mode for groups.

The Thorvaldsens Museum audio guide is the official digital companion for exploring the works of Denmark’s most famous sculptor, Bertel Thorvaldsen. The app provides a series of audio stories that delve into the history of the neoclassical masterpieces, the museum’s unique architecture, and the life of the artist himself. The narrations are often provided by art historians, offering a scholarly yet accessible perspective on the collection.

One of the standout features of the app is “Samlyt” (Shared Listening), which allows groups to synchronize their audio playback. This makes it an excellent choice for couples or families who want to experience the tour together without being isolated by their own headphones. The app also includes an interactive map to help navigate the museum’s themed rooms and colorful corridors.

The guide is free to use and can be accessed either through the dedicated app or via the museum’s website. It effectively replaces traditional rented audio guides, allowing visitors to use their own devices. While the museum offers physical plaques, the audio guide provides significantly more depth and context for the most significant works in the collection.
