Louisiana – Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek

Architect: Jørgen Bo, Wilhelm Wohlert and Claus Wohlert
Built in: 1958-2006
Client:

In 1958, architects Jørgen Bo and Wilhelm Wohlert were commissioned to design the museum taking as their point of departure the old patrician villa. Over the years they have been responsible for the ongoing expansion of the museum. From 1991 onwards they were joined by architect Claus Wohlert.

A masterpiece of Danish modernist architecture
The unpretentiousness of Louisiana’s architecture will be the first thing that strikes you on a visit to the museum. The main entrance to the old patrician villa welcomes the visitors to an almost homelike atmosphere. From here the more recent extensions to the museum spread out on a single plane, close to the ground on what could be called ‘the human scale’ around the park and down to the Øresund. Louisiana today stands as a masterpiece of Danish modernist architecture. An architecture particularly famous for the way the new extensions have been added to the old main building all the way adapting to the beautiful park landscape with its trees, forest lake, lawns and the Øresund.

Expansions and modernization of the Museum 1958-2006
Since Louisiana opened in 1958, new extensions have been added to keep pace with growing ambitions and the popularity of the place. Over the years there have been seven expansions… The fundamental architectural idea of the Louisiana Museum is the co-conception of the architecture with art and nature.
