inspired by Thorvaldsen and Bindesbøl the architect of the museum. The exhibition has got a lot of attention and many people coming daly for a visit. 

Vagn / Waggon worked together with the carpenter Mathias Juul Overvad has got a lot of interest at the newspapers and bloggers here in Denmark the last weeks, hopefully you find him interesting as well.

The arched ceilings from Greek and Roman antiquity and the ancient use of wooden wheels for waggons and carriages come together here in the simple, detailed hand-crafted piece, Vagn, inspired by Bindesbøll and Thorvaldsen’s work. On his homecoming after 40 years in Italy, Thorvaldsen was celebrated and drawn through the streets of Copenhagen on a carriage where the horses
had been unhitched: the people wanted to pull the carriage themselves to celebrate this worldrenowned sculptor. This wooden-wheeled serving trolley pays homage to the days when Thorvaldsen was revered and pampered like a superstar by neoclassicism, while the groundbreaking young architect Bindesbøll designed and converted the former royal carriage depot to create the first public
art museum in Denmark.
