On display last year at the Danish National
Historical Museum, there were some lovely copes
and embroidery, some tapestries, "Eric of
Pommerania's" belt (probably actually a woman's),
some nice medieval shoes and pattens and some of
the Greenland finds. I do not remember seeing the gloves.
The Viking and earlier parts of the collection
were closed. They will reopen next year.
We did not have a lot of time in Copenhagen
(spent more over on Jutland) due to a foul-up on
flights by AA, but we will be going back in the
next couple of years (possibly next year for NESAT).

Ooo ... well, start here ...

But if you go to Nationalmuseet, Danmarks Middelalder og Renæssance, in
Copenhagen please take pictures of the gloves that are there for me!! :D
If they are not on display ask if you can be allowed to see them for a
researcher in the US.
They found a bunch of them in the moats that were filled in. They speculate
that the moats were filled in around 1625 so the gloves they found there
could be from pre 1600. But I gotta see them to really date them accurately.

Thanks!

Greetings,
I am going on a three-day trip to Copenhagen next week. Which museums
are the most interesting for costumes and textiles and are there
shops that are a must-see? I am especially interested in everything
related to the middle ages, but I like all other costumes as well.
Thank you so much for your recommendations,
Hanna
