More information on Statens Museum for Kunst

This grandiose building was erected in 1889-96 after plans drawn by Wilhelm Dahlerup and G.E.W. Møller, in Italian Renaissance style. In autumn 1998, an extension was opened that gave the State's Art Museum the facelift it needed. The architects were Anna Maria Indrio and Mads Møller. This deeply original new building was constructed in the park behind the original building and is connected to it by a glass-covered walkway, 'the street of sculptures'. The "street" stretches along the full length of the museum, and within it concerts and dance performances are held. The museum contains collections of art dating from the twelfth century. Among the older European and Danish collections, feast your eyes on paintings by Titian, Tintoretto, Breugel, Rubens, Frans Hals and Rembrandt. The modern collection comprises of work by Picasso, Braque, Leger, Modigliani and Emil Nolde. Also Danish painters are richly represented, and you can enjoy the styles of Oluf Høst, Ed ward Weihe, Olaf Rude and Harald Giersing.
