About
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art stands on the coast of North Zealand, in Humlebæk, a short way north of Copenhagen. It is a museum of international contemporary art, set among gardens and buildings that open onto views of the Øresund, the strait that separates Denmark from Sweden.
What to expect
- Changing exhibitions: the museum is known for its rotating shows, so what you see on one visit may differ from the next.
- Sculpture in the open air: the grounds hold sculpture gardens, and walking between the works is part of the visit.
- Sea views: the museum's position above the Øresund gives many of its rooms and paths a view of the water.
- Architecture: the museum is valued for its buildings as well as its collection, and the way the galleries sit within the landscape is a large part of its appeal.
Getting there and around
The museum is at Gl Strandvej 13, 3050 Humlebæk, on the coastal road through North Zealand. Humlebæk is a small town, so the museum is best reached as a day outing from Copenhagen, with the rail line to Humlebæk and a walk or short onward trip from the station. The coast around the museum makes a pleasant setting for a slow afternoon, with time to walk the grounds before or after you go inside.
