"The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, often referred to simply as the Louisiana, is a prominent art museum located on the shores of the Øresund Sound approximately 35 kilometres north of Copenhagen. The museum is renowned for its impressive collection of modern and contemporary art as well as its scenic location.
The museum opened in 1958, and its name is inspired by the first owner of the property, Alexander Brun, who named the villa after his three wives, all of whom were named Louise. Over the years, the museum has undergone expansions, including the addition of new exhibition spaces and outdoor installations. The collection at Louisiana is huge and includes paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and installations. Artists represented in the collection include Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama, and many others.
The museum has both a café and a restaurant.

"Louisiana's founder, Knud W. Jensen, wanted to create a museum where Danes could see modern art, which until then had no special place in the Danish museums. From the beginning, the founder, Knud W. Jensen, intended for the museum to be a home for modern Danish art. But after only a few years he changed course, and instead of being a predominantly Danish collection, Louisiana became an international museum with many internationally renowned works. Louisiana’s close contact and collaboration with the international arts and cultural milieu has since been one of the museum’s greatest strengths. And also one of the main reasons that it has been possible for Louisiana to present an exhibition program that has resonated so strongly with the public over the years. Louisiana has thus achieved a standing as one of the world’s most respected exhibition venues, and in the future, it will be able to attract exhibitions and artists at a level that few other museums – either in Denmark or abroad – can match.
