Thorvaldsens Selskab 2026 is a one-day event held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 19 November 2026. It takes its name from Bertel Thorvaldsen, the Danish sculptor associated with neoclassicism, whose work and legacy remain part of the city's cultural life.
What kind of visit it makes
The event suits anyone who enjoys art, history and Danish heritage. Because it runs for a single day, it works well as a focused outing within a longer stay in the city rather than a trip in its own right. Its name points visitors toward Thorvaldsen himself, so those with an interest in sculpture and the neoclassical period will find the connection especially relevant.
Around the event
- Copenhagen is compact and easy to explore on foot or by bicycle, so it is simple to combine the event with other sights in the city.
- The city's cultural life, which Thorvaldsen's legacy helps shape, offers many other places to see art and learn about Danish history.
- November is a quieter month for the city's outdoor attractions, so a visit at this time of year suits those who prefer indoor cultural experiences.
Visitors planning to attend should check the organisers' details for the programme, timings and any practical information closer to the date, as these are not set out here.
