Copenhagen Amber Museum (Danish: Ravmuseet) is a museum on Kongens Nytorv in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is owned by House of Amber. Copenhagen Amber Museum is one of the most recognised amber museums in the world. The museum is located in Kanneworffs House, a charming old house dating back to 1606, which is one of the oldest houses in Copenhagen. The museum takes you on an exciting journey through the fascinating history of amber. The museum holds an impressive collection of amber antiques and artifacts, including a wide array of entombed insects from prehistoric times. House of Amber and Copenhagen Amber Museum are also delighted to present our visitors to the largest piece of amber in the world. The piece became enlisted in Guinness World of Records on June 1, 2015 and weighs 104.72 pounds (47.5 kg). The amber piece was found in the Dharmasraya region in West Sumatra in 2014 and is around 15-25 million years old. The high quality of our amber jewellery is guaranteed by the museum, which was founded and run by some of the most knowledgeable amber experts in the world. ==Building== The museum is located in one of Copenhagen’s oldest and most charming houses. It is placed at the beautiful square Kongens Nytorv right at the entrance of Nyhavn. ''Kanneworffs House'' was build in 1606, even before Kongens Nytorv was founded and the channel of Nyhavn was dug. At that time the population of Copenhagen was only 12,000 people. Its current appearance is largely due to an adaptation in the 1780s which added an extra floor and the Mansard roof. The building consists of three bays on Bredgade, four bays on Kongens Nytorv and two bays on Store Strandstræde. Another adaptation in 1904 moved the entrance to Bredgade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kongens Nytorv 2 )〕 Through the years the house has been inhabited by all kinds of people from barbers, tobacco spinners, carpenters, grocers and even the lackey of a noble count. In 1836 wool and cloth grocer ''Lars Kanneworff'' bought the house and during the next century it housed one of Copenhagen’s most exclusive and modern tailor establishments. Today the sign ''Kanneworffs House'' on the front has been replaced with ''Ravhuset'' (House of Amber), and while enjoying the world of amber, visitors can breathe in the fascinating history of this more than 400 year old house. s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Amber - Copenhagen Amber Museum )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Copenhagen Amber Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
