| I really love him too! One of my absolute favorites. For people who visit Copenhagen with the same affinity there is the obvious national gallery SMK[1]. But other worthwhile visits catering to Vilhelm Hammershøi are often overlooked. The Hirchsprung Collection[2][3] is literally in the backyard of SMK. You will likely not pass it unless you go look for it but it is only a 5 min walk away. Even less known is the magnificent The David Collection. It is in the absolute city centre right next to Rosenborg Castle. This is a true gem with free entrance all year round. Even with all the Copenhagen travel hype I rarely see it mentioned. They are right now having a special showing of some of his works February 15, 2025 - January 4, 2026. If memory serves they also have a few as part of their regular exhibition. If you are willing to go to the suburbs of Copenhagen then you should not miss Ordrupgaard[5]. Not as well known internationally as Louisiana but actually closer to Copenhagen and easy to reach with public transportation. ...oh - and I almost forgot Glyploteket[6]. Known for their statues and egyptian colletion but they have paintings as well. I could not find it online so I might be misremembering seeing a Hammshøi there. For people visiting Copenhagen I actually would give this museum my top recommendation of all the museums. It is a really nice place with an awe inspiring collection. So being the fanboy that I am the (slightly) amusing part is that I live only a 5 min walk from where he lived :-) [1] https://www.smk.dk/en/artist_profile/vilhelm-hammershoei/ [2] https://www.hirschsprung.dk/en [3] https://www.hirschsprung.dk/samling/kunst/vilhelm-hammershoi [4] https://www.davidmus.dk/exhibitions/vilhelm-hammershoi [5] https://ordrupgaard.dk/udstillinger/vilhelm-hammershoei/ [6] https://www.glyptoteket.com/ |
