Rambling coastal wonderland for modern art
The Louisiana Museum, established in 1958, is a leading international museum of modern art. Located in the picturesque coastal town of Humlebæk, 25 miles north of Copenhagen, it uniquely balances landscape, architecture and art, attracting visitors from around the world. The museum’s buildings are celebrated as a landmark of Danish modernist architecture, featuring glass corridors and an understated elegance that seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. Louisiana hosts six to ten cutting-edge exhibitions annually and rotates the display of its own distinguished art collection of more than 3,500 works, which includes significant holdings of abstract expressionism, pop art, minimalism, and conceptual art, with pieces by Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Asger Jorn and Alberto Giacometti. The rolling gardens and verdant grounds are home to a renowned sculpture garden offering stunning vistas and a perfect setting for artworks by Henry Moore, Jean Arp, Max Ernst and Barbara Hepworth.
