Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
About This Museum
What truly sets the Louisiana apart isn't just the art, but where it lives. Perched right on the Øresund Sound, this place feels more like a serene, rambling estate than a traditional museum, with gardens that roll right down to the water. Inside, you'll find a beautifully curated journey through modern art from the end of the Second World War up to the present day. The way the light-filled galleries seamlessly connect to the sprawling sculpture park outside is pure magic.
Collection Highlights
You can get lost among Henry Moore's monumental bronze figures in the garden or stand before a vibrant, expansive canvas by Asger Jorn. The collection is a who's who of modern masters—think Picasso, Warhol, and Giacometti—but they also have a brilliant eye for contemporary artists in their ever-changing temporary exhibitions.
Visitor Information
Don't rush your visit. Grab a coffee in the café with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, and let the kids run wild in the interactive Children's Wing. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend a whole day, just letting the art and the landscape work their calm, restorative magic on you.
Architecture & Building
It's a masterclass in Danish Modernism—a series of low-slung, pavilion-like buildings with vast glass walls and sleek wooden beams, all designed to hug the natural contours of the land and bring the outdoors in.
