Mimir and Balder Consult the Norns (Danish: Mimer og Balder rådspørger nornerne) is an 1822 relief by Hermann Ernst Freund now on display in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winning entry in a competition launched to promote the interest in Norse mythology among Danish artists, it depicts Mimir and Balder consulting the Norns. Works of Norse mythology would later dominate the rest of Freund's oeuvre, culminating with his monumental Ragnarok Frieze for Christian Frederik Hansen's new Christiansborg Palace.
