Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, with over 3,000 works, is home to the largest permanent modern art collection in the entire Scandinavian peninsula. The collection contains works belonging to almost every trend, with a particular focus on painting and sculpture. Its collection includes masterpieces by Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Dubuffet, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Louise Bourgeois, Philip Guston, Louis Morris, Asger Jorn, Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Anselm Kiefer and Per Kirkeby. Each year in a dedicated section, the museum presents temporary exhibitions to promote modernist artists and the most recent international contemporary art works. The Louisiana's exhibition programme is always very heterogeneous and focusses especially on the interaction between the different forms of art. A close correlation links contemporary exhibitions to the museum's structure: every exhibition often leaves traces in the permanent collection through acquisitions or donations.
