Louisiana Museum for Modern Art Description

(Local Name: Museum for Moderne Kunst) 10 km/6 mi south of Helsingør, on the coast road, lies the village of Humlebæk. Here, in a park with a view of the Øresund, stands the Louisiana Museum of Art, founded in 1958 by the merchant and art lover Knud W. Jensen, who instructed the architects Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert to build a museum complex here which has since been extended on several occasions, the last time being when an underground Graphic Arts Wing was added. The ground floor of the museum complex is a former nobleman's house, built in 1860 and numbering among its previous occupants three gentlemen each with a wife named Louise; as a result the house was called "Louisiana".
