Gallery sights in Denmark

  1. A

    Ribe Kunstmuseum

    Ribe Kunstmuseum has been able to acquire some of Denmark’s best works, including those by 19th-century ‘Golden Age’ painters. The singing birds outside present a glorious backdrop to collection pieces by big Danish names including Juel, Abildgaard, Eckersberg, Købke and Michael Ancher, and the garden area behind the museum (open to all) is just lovely.
