About
Frederiksberg has brought its rich history to life through six unique Talking Statues that invite you to listen to stories from the past like never before.
These statues represent some of the city’s most iconic figures: the poet Holger Drachmann, the literary giant Adam Oehlenschläger, King Frederik VI, the celebrated actress Betty Nansen, the compassionate Queen Louise, and the artist Max Bæklund.
Each statue tells its own story, sharing personal insights and historical moments that shaped Frederiksberg and Denmark. From the stirring poetry of Oehlenschläger to the dramatic life of Drachmann, and from royal tales of King Frederik VI and Queen Louise to the inspiring careers of Betty Nansen and Max Bæklund, these voices paint a vivid picture of the city’s cultural heritage.
To hear these stories, simply bring your phone and scan the QR code found at each statue. This easy step unlocks spoken narratives that make history feel immediate and personal, blending the past with today’s technology.
