Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Gl Strandvej 13, 3050 Humlebæk

Seaside modern-art campus of glass pavilions woven into a sculpture park above a strait.

This guide to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen traces how a country villa named after three wives all called Louise passed a century later to a cheese wholesaler, Knud Jensen, who dreamed of an art museum unlike Denmark's grand, cold national galleries. You'll hear how he kept the old villa and its garden, and sent architects Jorgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert walking the grounds for months before they designed anything. It follows the low glass corridors they built into the hillside, and the sculpture garden sloping toward the Oresund, past works by Jean Arp and Joan Miro.
