Magasin

We went to Magasin today, the oldest department store in Scandinavia (in business since 1868!), and by far the biggest department store in Denmark. We went to the flagship store, Magasin du Nord, in the heart of Copenhagen. The department store has moved into its current building, which is an impressive former hotel building.

We went to the house-ware floor, and they had so many beautifully designed everyday items. I definitely knew I was in Denmark! I really wish our department stores back home carried items like this. Then we went to the basement, which is the food (grocery) floor. They had a much nicer selection of food than what you might find at your local supermarket. I also couldn't help noticing how neatly the shelves were organized. Maybe it was the nice design of the bottles and containers of the products they had, but this may be one of the most beautiful shelf organization at a food store I've ever seen. Everything looked so good...
