The Bakkehus Museum (meaning "house on the hill") is a literary and cultural museum situated in the pleasant suburb of Frederiksberg. It was once the house of two of the most prominent personalities of the Danish Golden Age, academic and critic Knud Rahbek and his wife. They ran a kind of artistic salon which supported the careers of many of the prominent figures of the time, including a young H. C. Andersen. The museum preserves the genuine furnishings and some artefacts connected with couple. It is surrounded by pleasant gardens, and is the setting for many cultural events such as chamber concerts.
