Copenhagen is undoubtedly a city bustling with culture, as evident by the existence of world-famous museums and art galleries to satisfy art lovers, design and architecture aficionados, and history enthusiasts alike. While the city has around 80 museums ranging in topics from photography to science, we would like to focus on the top 4 museums which are (in our opinion) a must-see for everyone visiting Copenhagen.
1. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
A harmonious combination of world-class contemporary art, modernist architecture, and stunning nature is what attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to Louisiana every year. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art Gl. Strandvej 13 3050 Humlebæk
2. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek museum is located in the heart of Copenhagen and features two main art departments surrounded by stunning architecture. The Department of Antiques gives you an overview of 3500 years of Etruscan, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian art, while the Modern Department focuses on Danish and French paintings and sculptures of the 19th and 20th centuries. Apart from the stunning art collections, the museum features a cozy café placed in a lush Winter Garden filled with palm trees and other vegetation.
3. SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark
SMK is the largest art gallery in the country, where you can find anything from Danish Golden Age art collections to one of the world’s best Matisse collections, as well as temporary exhibitions by ingenious contemporary artists. For everyone’s enjoyment, SMK hosts regular events, such as workshops, art talks, performances, concerts, and guided tours about a wide range of art-related topics.
4. ARKEN Museum of Modern Art
Resembling a monumental beached ship, ARKEN is located on a scenic manmade beachscape just south of Copenhagen and hosts one of Scandinavia’s most refined modern art collections. The collections contain more than 400 artworks, mainly by Danish, Nordic, and international contemporary artists. Make sure to visit ARKEN café, which hangs like a lifeboat on the side of the museum and overlooks the picturesque beach park.
