Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is located directly on the shore of the Øresund in Humlebæk 35 kilometers north of Copenhagen in Denmark. It has a wide range of modern art paintings, sculptures and videos, including works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, and Pablo Picasso. The videos are often housed in room settings where the viewer is made to feel part of the scene being portrayed. Perched above the sea, there is a sculpture garden between the museum's two wings with works by artists including Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, and Jean Arp. The name of the museum derives from the first owner of the property, Alexander Brun, who named it for his three wives, each with the name of Louise.
The museum is included in the Patricia Schultz book "1,000 Places to See Before You Die."
