Charming
Closed temporarily due to Covid-19. We will open again 1 April 2020 at 11 AM. The Hirschsprung Collection is beautifully situated in the green parklands of the Ostre Anlaeg on the old ramparts of Copenhagen. The museum houses Heinrich and Pauline Hirschsprung's collection of Danish art and first opened its doors to the public in the summer of 1911. The museum was designed by the architect H.B. Storck, while the original interior and display was designed by the art historian Emil Hannover, who also became the museum's first Director. Henrich Hirschsprung donated his collection of Danish art from the 19th century to the Danish state in 1902. The collection houses masterpieces by the Danish Golden age painters such as C.W. Eckersberg, J.Th. Lundbye and Christen Købke as well as artists from the modern period such as the famous Danish painters P.S. Krøyer, Anna Ancher and Vilhelm Hammershøi. Opening hours: Wednesday-Sunday: 11 AM - 4 PM. Admission: Adults 95 DKK. Under 18 free.

Engrossing art
A wonderful and engrossing collection awaits for anyone who appreciates and enjoys art. In a fine purpose built gallery from 1911 great paintings from Denmark’s Golden Age predominate. Portraits and family scenes are great. An East India Merchant by the famous C W Eckersberg, known as the Father of Danish Painting, shows Albrecht Schmidt writing at his desk with his faithful little dog gazing up at him. Sickness and hospital scenes are depicted. Young Woman being Hypnotised by Richard Bergh, Jenny Nystrom's The Convalescent and Josephson's Convalescent are worth mentioning. A lovely and poignant one shows a group of children Writing Letters on a Sunday Morning from a Children's Hospital. This is by Valdemar Irminger. Edvard Munch’s The Sick Child is touching and shows the sick child turning towards the light, accepting her fate, while a desolate seated woman grasps her hand. A delightful moonlit scene shows the artist P S Kroyer and his wife strolling by Skagen beach. Children at joyous play by Peter Hansen is appealing. An Old Couple with Rabbits is a grand scene from 1892 by Anna Ancher. Farming and landscapes are well shown. Sonne's Harvest Scene with Grain Being Brought In, A Country Wedding in a Winter Landscape by Skovgaard, Frits Thaulow 1881 work Street Scene at Stortings Plass and Theodor Philipsen's A Fountain near Rome, are amongst the best of these.

Simply charming
A private collection of a rich cigar-manufacturing family donated to the city of Copenhagen. Exquisite examples of Danish Golden Age painters and the inimitable Hammershøi. And currently a beautifully curated exhibition of work by Ejnar Nielsen - unforgettable.
