Great and diverse :)

Museum of Modern Art And Design Trapholt is located in Southern Denmark on the mainland of Jutland and is one of the largest and most popular museums in Denmark, outside of Copenhagen. Trapholt opened in 1988 and added additional exhibition space and collection storage in 1996. The international architecture competition held in 1982, was won by the project team of architects Boje Lundgaard and Bente Aude, lighting designer Sophus Frandsen and landscape architect Svend Kirkegaard, for its exceptional museum design and its extraordinary and sensitive placement in nature. The Museum is set in a beautiful sculpture park overlooking the water of Kolding Fjord and visitors come from far and near, not only to see the amazing array of exhibitions, performances and programs but also to experience the museum’s architecture, the one-of-a-kind summerhouse designed by Arne Jacobsen, to find unique design treasures in the museum shop and to become culinarily tempted in the restaurant with its breathtaking view. At Trapholt visitors will be welcomed by TRAPguides that are trained to help assist and offer the visitors guided tours of the museum, tours of Arne Jacobsen’s summerhouse, and introductions to current exhibitions. Also at Trapholt, we make sure to always have a varied range of options and activities for children and their accompanying adults.

Museum of Modern Art and Design
The museum is situated with an impressive view over the inlet east of Kolding. The park outside the museum is very nice, and home to a modular summerhouse, designed by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, probably best known for his chair designs. A special exhibition with works by Verner Panton was on show during our visit. Panton’s unusual use of materials and colours made him a very well known designer of his time, and his work is still very attractive and impressive. Also, a very good special exhibition with works by painter Erik F. Frandsen was on show. The permanent exhibition with works by painter Richard Mortensen is definitely also worth mentioning, and we really enjoyed our visit here. Very friendly and helpful staff did a wonderful job.

Excellent museum
Excellent museum. Has a cozy coffee shop with an incredible view of the terrace. The exhibitions are very inspiring and provide plenty of information for the ones interested in architecture and design especially. There are also a couple of paintings for which I didn’t have enough time to see. Considering buying an årskort, as the location of the museum and the exhibitions have inspired me to visit again. A getaway experience in artistic surroundings. Staff is incredibly nice and the shop in the museum, even if expensive, provides a lot of miniature artworks. Remember to visit koldingfjord hotel nearby and walk along the koldingfjord after visiting the museum. :)
