Guided Tours
Experience the Round Tower like you’ve never seen it before. Join us on Monday or Tuesday during the school summer holidays, when we open our doors for exclusive guided tours that combine the classic stories with new, surprising sides to the iconic tower.
Come with us behind locked doors and gain a rare insight into the tower’s history and collections, as the guide leads you into some of the “secret” rooms that are not normally open to visitors, showing fascinating objects along the way as you make your way up through the winding Spiral Ramp.
We meet at the bust of Tycho Brahe at the base of the tower.
The tours, which are conducted in English and are recommended for adults and children aged 10 and above, take place on the following dates:
Monday June 29
Tuesday June 30

Walk & Talk with Elena Bollati in “Being Coral”
Meet one of the lead researchers working behind the exhibition as she takes guests on a walk through beautiful, sensory video portraits of the planet’s vanishing corals.
Documentary filmmaker and video artist Maja Friis is the creator of the exhibition “Being Coral” which explores the impact of climate change on the planet’s corals through research-based art.
In collaboration with a team of coral researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Friis has made macro-optic recordings of selected tropical coral species. The video portraits allow the audience to experience these tiny creatures on a large scale and in a uniquely intimate way.
During this special evening tour, Elena Bollati will share insights into the creation of the close collaboration with coral researchers from the University of Copenhagen, which made the macro recordings possible, and the scientific methods behind the exhibition.
