Palm House
The beautiful Victorian Palm House is an important part of the Natural History Museum Denmark's living collections. With its central location, the house forms a green oasis of subtropical and tropical plants. The protected Palm House in the Botanical Garden was constructed between 1872-74, with brewer J.C. Jacobsen as one of the driving forces behind the project. The architect of the Palm House was city architect Peter Christian Bønecke, and it is made of cast iron and glass. The inspiration for the Palm House was drawn from the Crystal Palace in London, which was built for the Great Exhibition in 1852.

In the Palm House, you can experience exotic and rare plants growing in various tropical and subtropical environments. Explore greenhouses such as 'Water Plants and Mangroves,' 'Warm Subtropics,' 'Dry Tropical Regions,' and the 'Mediterranean House.'
