The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a museum of modern and contemporary art on the Øresund coast in North Zealand, Denmark, in the town of Humlebæk, about 33 km in a straight line north of Copenhagen and about 10 km south of Helsingør. With more than 700,000 visitors a year, it is the most visited museum of modern art in Scandinavia. Since 1958 it has presented international art and culture, with six to ten temporary exhibitions a year alongside its permanent collection. Its building is a landmark of Danish modernist architecture, known for the way it brings art, architecture and landscape together: low glass-walled wings run among the trees and look out over the sea. Around the building a sculpture park slopes down a lawn towards the shore, with works by international artists such as Alexander Calder, Henry Moore and Richard Serra. The museum has a restaurant looking across the Øresund to the Swedish coast, a three-storey children's wing with daily workshops, and a shop of Danish design. Entry is paid. It is a 10 to 15 minute walk from Humlebæk railway station, so it is easy to combine with Kronborg Castle in Helsingør on a day trip from Copenhagen.
