Danish and Nordic Art 1750-1900
New display of the permanent collection
From the birth of Danish painting through the famous Golden Age of Danish art to the dawn of Modernism.
The major features of Danish and Nordic art over 150 years are unfolded in a display that features both an historic overview and special themes of immediate relevance to contempoary life, while also focusing on artists of particular importance. At the same time, this display casts light on some of the more overlooked chapters in the history of Danish art.
Both the main narratives and the undercurrents
In the first exhibition room, we present the beginnings of Danish painting. From here you can choose to go chronologically forward or you may choose to explore secondary roads. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to go in depth with various artists or themes.
Room 226: Sketching Room
In the Sketching Room, you have the opportunity to express yourself. Grab your pencil and try to draw what you have seen or sit down and take a break with one of the exciting books in the bookcase.
A permanent, yet, ever-changing display
We have reserved one room for a single work, to allow for the sharing of extra knowledge. We change this work image every six months. At the moment we present C.W. Eckersberg, The Russian Ship of the Line "Assow" and a Frigate at Anchor in the Roads of Elsinore, 1828.
