Louisiana’s collection of modern art dates from 1945 to the present day. It is one of Scandinavia’s largest collections and contains more than 4,000 artworks within virtually all genres, emphasising painting and sculpture. The collection is far too extensive to be displayed, but selected works are continuously on view in new dynamic contexts. Permanent highlights include the Giacometti Hall, the Jorn Room and the Kusama Installation.
In addition to the permanent collection, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art features 6 - 10 major exhibitions annually. Here, the classics of modern art, as well as contemporary international artists and architects, are presented. In connection with the exhibitions, the museum publishes art catalogues in the form of Louisiana Revy and special catalogues.
The sculpture park is a major feature of any visit to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, no matter the time of year. The museum’s parkland location facing the Sound and the landscaped parkland provide optimal conditions for a varied and exciting exhibition of the collection’s approx. 60 sculptures.
With its relaxed atmosphere, the museum also offers a vibrant and dedicated cultural centre with a rich programme of activities and events for children and adults alike. The Children’s Wing is a universe dedicated to children, where skilled art intermediaries are responsible for child-friendly activities that relate to the current exhibitions. Adults can participate in guided tours, lectures, concerts, films, workshops, and literature festivals.
When it’s time for a break, the Louisiana Café offers hot and cold drinks, sweet treats or a lunch or evening meal—homemade dishes using prime seasonal produce.
In the museum’s sizeable two-level store, you will find a large and inspiring selection of new and classic items emphasising Danish and Scandinavian design. Interior, clothing, books, posters, graphics, toys and more.
The museum is open until 10:00 PM from Tuesday to Friday and from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. This allows you to plan an evening visit and perhaps combine it with a delicious dinner buffet in the café.
