Day 5: Bla Planet and art galleries

Image
  A drizzly morning so we made good use of our train card by going out to Blå Planet, the beautifully designed aquarium and had fun exploring there with the families of young children on school holidays. After lunch fitted in visits to two galleries, seeing paintings by Hans Purrmann (German contemporary of Matisse) and then a big exhibition of works by Bonnard.   Bla Planet aquarium entrance Hammerhead sharks Children up close to a baby ray A Puffin perched on a wall Bonnard show at Ny Glyptotek gallery

Day 4: Malmo and back to Copenhagen

Image
Our big breakfast sustained us through the day as we visited the city of Malmø, just over the Øresund Bridge into Sweden. We emerged at the impressive Triangeln station and then walked through this attractive university city to the Modern Art Museum. Got a glimpse of the Turning Torso apartment building down at the waterfront and then returned to Copenhagen. Made initial use of our 24 hour train ticket to get to the Danish Design Museum, with its fabulous mid century furniture and objects, Bauhaus design and the history of Danish chair design.  Arriving at Triangeln station Malmo Bike and ride Bike parking at Triangeln opposite University The Turning Torso (Malmo) Museum of modern art Malmo Design Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen Plenty of space for bikes on Danish trains
