ARKEN
Edit ThisThis Museum, 20 km (12 miles) south of Copenhagen, looks like an huge vessel that has stranded on the coast of Denmark. As is a trend among today’s museum builders, architect Søren Robert Lund made ARKEN the showpiece of its exhibitions. The museum was opened in 1996 and has its focal point on all forms of Danish, Scandinavian and international art from 1945 and onward. The building is organised around the imposing main room which, like a huge banana penetrates the other spaces.

Louisiana

Also a visit to this museum is an experience in itself. Louisiana has grown in a circle at the coast of Øresund. Pavilions in different stiles are bound together like a necklace to shelter a unique collection of modern art. Especially the Giacometti is a site in itself. When weather allows you can have a picnic in the central clearing. But even when rain pours down it is a place of interesting harmonics and contrasts.

Thorvaldsen museum
Edit ThisBertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) lived over forty years in Rome. As sculptor he can easily withstand comparison with contemporaries like Antonio Canova or François Rude. At his death, he left his city of birth a vast collection of sculptures and paintings. The neo-classical sculptor now rests among this collections in the central court. The museum itself is a work of art with painted walls and ceilings based on Roman and Etruscan excavations. In these dark chambers, Thorvaldsens white marble sculptures standout in a way they were intended. In the basement, one can see the drawing more..
