About this audio guide
This guide to the Storm P. Museum in Copenhagen traces the odd life of a Frederiksberg police station that later served as a funeral home before becoming a shrine to one cartoonist's jokes. You'll hear about Robert Storm Petersen, a butcher's son from Valby who dropped out of art school, tried cabaret, and by the 1910s was known nationwide simply as Storm P., along with the wildly overengineered contraptions and early animated cartoon that made his name. His rebuilt studio upstairs still has drawings pinned where his hand left them.
