Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Profil

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is located in northern Zealand with a panoramic view across the Øresund. The museum frames the sculpture park facing the sea and the interaction between art, nature and the museum architecture is quite unique.

Louisiana is an international museum with a considerable collection of modern art. The museum's permanent collection includes more than 3000 works and is one of the largest in Scandinavia. It takes its point of departure in the period after 1945 including artists like Picasso, Giacometti, Dubuffet, Yves Klein , Andy Warhol , Rauschenberg, Henry Moore , Louise Bourgeois , Philip Guston , Morris Louis , Jorn, Baselitz, Polke, Kiefer, and Per Kirkeby .

Every year Louisiana offers 4-6 temporary exhibitions, presenting both great modernist artists and the latest international contemporary art in the series Louisiana Contemporary. Throughout the years the museum has persisted in taking the international view as a premise for its exhibitions and Louisiana's status implies that the museum is able to attract future exhibitions and artists of a standard available to only very few Scandinavian museums.

Louisiana's exhibition programme has always covered a wide range primarily focusing on the interaction between the different art forms. Louisiana therefore has a long standing tradition of culture-historical exhibitions and of presenting large, international photo, design and architecture shows. The exhibition activities and the development of the collection are closely linked, and thus the exhibitions often leave their mark on the collection thanks to acquisitions and donations.

Louisiana opening hours:
Tuesday-Friday 11-22h
