No, not the state, but the modern art museum in Humlebaek outside of Copenhagen. It’s a very cool space, with lovely grounds and possibly one of the best-conceived art spaces that we’ve ever been through. Thanks to Debbie for recommending that we go there. Don’t know what it was like on her first visit, but we thought it was well marked and easy to find. It is about a 10 minute walk from the local train station and what was really cool was that you can buy a combination train ticket and museum pass at the main train station in the city.
The grounds were stunning, even on a largely overcast day (it stopped raining at least). There is a ton of sculpture on the grounds, which butts up against the Baltic. You can see Sweden across the way. Toss out the water view and it reminds us of the Grounds for Sculpture at home. Note to Judith, our artist friend, if you are reading these posts and have not been to this museum you should put it in the list. The Alexander Calder pieces below are a small slice of what is on the property. We saw more works by Alberto Giacometti than at any other venue we have visited.
The trip was bookended by museum visits, with both venues offering works by Andy Warhol. One of these days we have got to make it to the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The Louisiana was a bit overwhelming but well worth the trip. A good way to wind up. We are headed back to the city as this is being written with plans for a relaxed dinner somewhere close to the hotel. Thankfully our flight out doesn’t depart until 12:30 tomorrow, so we don’t have to rush.
