The website says you can get a combined train and gallery ticket from any train station- this is not true- we weren't staying near central station so didn't want to go all the way there, at norreport couldn't find how to do it on ticket machine and nobody to ask. So ended up paying loads. Gallery staff not helpful either.... More

Not everyone will live the art...it's all modern and what was up from the permanent collection was heavy on lesser-known Scandinavian artists. When I was there an excellent exhibition on pop art and advertising was taking place. But for me the museum buildings themselves, the grounds surrounding the museum and trip to it were all spectacular. It's about 40 minutes... More

What great fun this museum is with it's wonderful setting by the sea, superb meandering architecture and high class contents. The current exhibition of works by Tara Donovan is breathtaking and it's almost worth visiting for this alone. As avid art museum visitors all over the world and having visited all the other art museums in Copenhagen during our stay,... More

The collection is average, but the architecture and the surrounding scenario is worthy of visiting! Especially during Summer.

We were there for the Pop Art exhibition which was wonderful, colourful and insightful. However it makes a mockery when they ask you not to take photos and everyone is clicking away with their cameras. Some cool sculptures in the Gardens and great views.

If you have any interest in modern art or sculpture don't miss this wonderful museum in easy reach of Copenhagen. From the majestic setting, overlooking the water and Sweeden, to a marvelous collection of modern art, which seems to keep going and going and (at least when I was there) wonderful exhibitions. I caught the train and walked, it's an... More

This is a great place to visit from Copenhagen. About 25 minutes on the train and the staff at the train station will help you get the right ticket and on the right train. You can go direct. The gallery will take you at least 3-4 hours to wander round and the grounds are amazing with some superb views. There's... More

I was supposed to fly in and out of Denmark in less than 24h for a quick business meeting in the morning, but I was lucky enough to have some time the previous evening and to be taken by colleagues to visit this place. I loved the location which is open, luminous, airy, facing the Swedish coast, giving a sense... More

For modern art lovers a visit to Copenhagen without going to the Louisiana is like...unimaginable. Special exhibitions during our last visit included the Pop Art exhibition and Tara Donovan – what a treat. The permanent works include artists such as Picasso, Warhol, Hockney, Bourgeois, Klein, Dubuffet and Kandinsky, a joy for any art lover. The museum grounds are at the... More

Louisiana Museum of modern art is worth a visit if in Denmark. Last visit I did was the Pop Art exhibition and Tara Donovan. Really cool art! The museum has quite a large exhibition of contemporay art, paintings and sculptures etc. Easy to go there by train or bus from Copenhagen or Elsinor.
