Twentieth-century Modern Art.

Louisiana’s collection of modern art dates from 1945 to the present day. It is one of Scandinavia’s largest collections and contains more than 4,000 artworks within virtually all genres, emphasising painting and sculpture. The collection is far too extensive to be displayed, but selected works are continuously on view in new dynamic contexts. Permanent highlights include the Giacometti Hall, the Jorn Room and the Kusama Installation. 

Classics and shooting international stars.

In addition to the permanent collection, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art features 6 - 10 major exhibitions annually. Here, the classics of modern art, as well as contemporary international artists and architects, are presented. In connection with the exhibitions, the museum publishes art catalogues in the form of Louisiana Revy and special catalogues. 

Sculptures in interaction with nature.

The sculpture park is a major feature of any visit to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, no matter the time of year. The museum’s parkland location facing the Sound and the landscaped parkland provide optimal conditions for a varied and exciting exhibition of the collection’s approx. 60 sculptures.

 A vibrant cultural centre for children and adults alike.

With its relaxed atmosphere, the museum also offers a vibrant and dedicated cultural centre with a rich programme of activities and events for children and adults alike. The Children’s Wing is a universe dedicated to children, where skilled art intermediaries are responsible for child-friendly activities that relate to the current exhibitions. Adults can participate in guided tours, lectures, concerts, films, workshops, and literature festivals.
