Humlebæk
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Louisiana opened in 1958 in a 19th-century villa at Humlebæk, 35 kilometres north of Copenhagen on the coast of the Øresund strait. The museum grew organically over decades, with interconnected whitewashed gallery wings threading through the landscape of the clifftop park — creating one of the most harmonious relationships between art, architecture, and nature of any museum in the world.
Copenhagen
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek was founded by Carl Jacobsen, heir to the Carlsberg brewery, as a gift to the city of Copenhagen. It opened in 1897 and expanded with a French Impressionist wing in 1906. The building — a combination of neoclassical facades and a spectacular glass-domed winter garden — is among the most beautiful museum interiors in Scandinavia.
