Copenhagen has a wealth of galleries, but only one strikes the sweet balance between nature, architecture and art. The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is located 35km north of Copenhagen and enjoys an outstanding reputation both for its distinguished international portfolio as well as its gorgeous grounds. The iconic buildings are modernist masterpieces, fittingly designed with floor-to-ceiling windows to merge the lofty indoors with the green outdoors. In the outdoor sculpture park, winding paths and overgrown nooks are home to around 60 sculptures both visible and hidden in the calming environment. Throughout the year, you’ll find a host of events taking place here alongside exhibitions, including classical concerts in the sculpture park, arts workshops, as well as lectures and literary evenings. Before you head back to the city, visit the gift shop, where you’ll find Scandi design in everything from ceramics and glassware to Danish furniture, handbags and prints from current exhibitions. Trains depart from Copenhagen central station every 20 minutes with the Danish State Railway (DSB) and take 35 minutes from Copenhagen to Humlebæk Station. From there, it is a 10-minute walk to the museum. (Text: Victoria Pease / Works: Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Yayoi Kusama, Jean Arp / Photos: Louisiana MOMA)
