This project began in 1990, when Bjørn Nørgaard was commissioned by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II to pictorially depict Danish history, an immense work of research, drawing literally thousands of figures and historical events and finally commission Manufactures Nationales des Bobelins et de Beauvais in France to weave the17 tapestries to be displayed at the Danish Parliament in the Great Hall at Christiansborg. The experience to see and learn Danish history through these vividly colorful tapestries was an experience, which will be with me for life. If you can go and see them when you next visit Denmark.
