Fuglsang Kunstmuseum

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:33:32

Lolland’s cultural cred received a much-needed boost with the opening of Fuglsang Kunstmuseum, considered one of Denmark’s most comprehensive regional art museums. White, abstract and dramatically framed by Lolland’s trademark green fields, its permanent collection spans Danish painting, illustration and sculpture from 1780 to today.

You'll find landscape paintings from prolific 19th-century artists like Jens Juel and P.C. Skovgaard, including the latter's iconic View from the Cliffs of Møn (1852). The museum has a particularly impressive collection of early-20th-century works, among them Jais Nielsen’s striking Futurist painting Afgang! (1918).

Permanent collection aside, Fuglsang Kunstmuseum hosts around three temporary exhibitions annually, and houses a cafe and small, savvy gift shop.

You'll find the museum 4.5km south of the town of Sakskøbing, itself 9km east of Maribo.
