Lonely Planet review

Dedicated to Danish art of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Den Hirschsprungske Samling is an enchanting little museum, full of wonderful surprises for art lovers unfamiliar with the classic era of Danish oil painting from the early 19th century.

Originally the private holdings of tobacco magnate Heinrich Hirschsprung, it contains works by 'Golden Age' painters such as Christen Købke and CW Eckersberg, a notable selection by Skagen painters PS Krøyer and Anna and Michael Ancher, and also works by the Danish symbolists and the Funen painters.

The museum displays moving and powerful works by the widely celebrated Funen and Skagen schools, famous for their haunting landscapes and depictions of 'ordinary' Danes and including artists such as Christen Købke, CW Eckersberg and PS Krøyer.
