What the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art collection covers
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art brings international art from 1945 to the present into galleries and a sculpture park beside the Sound. Its collection emphasises painting and sculpture, with groups of works by Giacometti and Jorn, American Pop art and European Nouveau Réalisme. Collection
Founded by Knud W. Jensen and opened in 1958, Louisiana developed from a museum for Danish modern art into an international collection. Much of that collection appears in rotating presentations, while the park connects sculpture to the surrounding architecture and landscape, and Kusama's Gleaming Lights of the Souls creates an enclosed world of mirrors, water and changing light.
Its collection strengths include post-1945 European and American art, Giacometti and Jorn, Pop art and Nouveau Realisme, and sculpture park and contemporary installation.

The Gate in the Gorge
Serra's sculpture was acquired for its particular placement in Louisiana's park. The museum describes it as becoming part of the terrain, rather than simply occupying a patch of ground.

Check the photography rules first
Louisiana permits photography in the sculpture park and collection presentations without flash, tripods or selfie sticks; current exhibitions may have exceptions marked by signs. Keep your phone silent in the galleries and ask staff if you are unsure. Professional photography and filming require prior agreement with the museum's press or communication office. Read its visitor guidance and current photography policy before taking a photo.
