This Museum for modern and contemporary art, founded by collector and patron Knud Jensen in 1958, has the reputation of being Denmark’s MoMA and brings hundreds of thousands of art fans to Humlebæk every year. The attraction is not only the impressive collection itself, which covers more than 3000 pieces from the period after 1945 – from the European Nouveau Realisme of Yves Klein or Lucio Fontana, the American Pop Art canon with its stars such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg, to German Art of the 1980s with Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz – but also its idyllic setting, nestled in a rambling sculpture park with works by Henry Moore and Alexander Calder. An excursion to Louisiana is the perfect mix of nature, art, and architecture. And one can have a nosh in the cafe, or leaf through books on art and architecture in the museum shop anytime.
