Copenhagen- Louisiana Museum of Art



Copenhagen

On a trip to   Copenhagen
, try to get to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.  It is 25 miles north of the city....I believe we took public transportation since we did not have a rental car.  It is well worth the trip!  Transformed in 1958 from a 19th century villa on the Oresund strait into a Modernist oasis of art, with added low-slung glass pavilions and a sculpture park.  You arrive through the villa's modest entrance hall, as if coming to visit friends.  But the latest in video art and photography await, alongside masterpieces by Giacometti, Henry Moore and Alexander Calder, juxtaposed against spectacular light and water views, the wind and the sounds of the sea.  It is a very lovely experience.
