When you're finished with the museum , don't exit through the gift shop . Instead, head out the back and through the gate onto the beach . Take in amazing views of Øresund across to Sweden

Timo H

One of the best museums I've ever been to. It is art itself. Take the train , walk 10mins and enjoy modern art right by the stormy sea (yes, panorama view included).

Kristina

Best museum I've ever been to. Located close to an idyllic lake and the sea, the museum leads you round a path of Modern art . The one hour trip from Copenhagen is more than worth it.

Ale Tower

Possibly the most beautiful museum in the world. The outdoors are breathtaking, the permanent collection of great interest, temporary exhibitions well curated. Not to be missed when in CPH.

Enda G

An absolute must when visiting Copenhagen. Stunning grounds, thoughtful exhibitions and high quality collection. Queues to buy tickets can be long at the weekend so go for a train/admission combo.

Noah Weiss

The museum itself is solid, but the park grounds spotted with sculptures overlooking the sea and Sweden are fantastic. The cafe has good food and beer/wine you can drink on the patio with views .

Robert

Wonderful. Had a lot of fun! Tip: take a walk outside, the beautiful park rewards with its secrets.

Tian Cereal

One of the most beautiful museum with loads to explore

Peter Lindberg

This is a museum I want to visit every year or two. I like going there in autumns; it’s still warm and as it gets darker in the evenings you can walk in the park and look into the lit up museum .

Camilla

This place is really a must! Go here in the spring/summer and enjoy the sculptures and amazing view outside. Wifi passcode: louisiana

Jasmine Salem

This was the highlight of my trip to Copenhagen. Amazing art and views . Buy a combined train and museum ticket from the lost and found counter at the Main Train station . Saves time and money.

Hana Tanimura

Gorgeous building in an equally gorgeous setting (right by the sea - overlooking a sculpture garden ). Great permanent collection. Well curated and thoughtfully laid out.

Harry Roberts

This place is stunning. Definitely worth a visit. The exhibitions , the architecture , the views : beautiful.

Jacob Neergaard

Wonderful modern art museum and perfect location. They have a great permanent exhibition and the gift shop has a lot of good designer stuff, clothes , books , prints and toys and gadgets.

Bommy

Amazing museum , do not skip!! Beautiful outdoor area with sculptures and a fantastic waterfront view of sweden in the distance. Cafe buffet has good options and yummy breads .

Victoria Melisse

a must see in Copenhagen! interesting exhibitions , amazing views of the sea, and don't forget to take a break and grab some coffee ! the buffet is extremely tasty! carrot cake is heavenly yummy!

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Under construction at the moment. Impressive outdoor installations esp the Serra, Dan Graham and Calders. Not sure I would say this is a must see but if you have extra time, it’s a good option.

Kaitlin Yapchaian

There’s a free web audio guide about the history and architecture of the museum , as well as for the sculptures/grounds. Scan a QR code on signs throughout the museum for a link (or ask someone!).

Joanne

A beautiful art museum where you can spend the entire day at. They even have one of Yayoi Kusama's pieces there.

Bijan Young

Daft price taxi to get there from city centre and back but worth every penny. The special exhibitions as well as the rest of the gallery are great to stimulate all senses. Great setting. A must.

Miki Yamamoto

Favorite museum ever. Most stunning sculpture garden with terrific free audio tour on website. Views water across to Sweden . Next time will get the discount train-museum ticket through DSM.

Patricia Zhou

Beautiful location with great exhibitions . Food in the cafe is also very good. Definitely worth the trip out.

Aubin

I really enjoyed my visit here. Beautiful views (you can see Sweden even on rainy days). You might want to avoid weekends. Don’t forget to buy a DSB combined ticket (as of 2019 -210DKK train included)

Magali M

Peacefully quiet and relaxing. Really nice art collection . Take a combo ticket directly at the train station , way cheaper. Such a breathtaking view of the sea and Sweden .

Temo

This museum is just perfect ???? building, yard, expositions , panoramic view , even museum shop is beautiful ???? Kusama’s permanent installation “gleaming lights of the souls” is absolutely must see ????❤️

Jakub Puterka

If you have the time, bike here from CPH. It's 37 km of some of the prettiest biking in Denmark. Small rolling hills in a forest mix with the coast. Then take the train back with your bike !

Corentin M.

Take a round ticket including the entry (cheaper). A must see: great architecture in a peaceful environment . Great view over the sea and great collection. Fantastic jorn and Pollock temp. exhibition .

David Hu

The museum is open late so you can still have a half day (or more!) in Copenhagen and be able to catch a train and see everything before closing. Exhibits always seem provocative--highly recommended!

Jonathan Murphy

Great museum , the main temporary exhibition is usually very extensive and impressive, depending on your taste of course, it can be very busy and is best to visit in quieter hours if possible.

Monica Desai

Such a fun day outdoors, you can spend hours exploring and looking out. The indoors pales in comparison.

Jackson Chew

Despite being around 30-40 min train ride from city centre, this is a world-class contemporary art museum . Comprehensive collection, excellent views if you want to take a break and a large gift store .

An Wu

Make sure you go there when sun is shining, as it is so nice to sit outside in addition to the amazing art hidden inside.

European Parliament

Amazing museum . There was a Picasso exhibition when I visited which was awesome. The sculpture garden is splendid !

The best modern art museum I've ever been to! Such interesting exhibits and a beautiful outdoor area on the water.

Take a picnic outside to admire the view across the Øresund. The children’s wing has both art to see and crafts to do. – Green Guide Editor

One of the most beautiful museums in the world as far as the grounds go. Make sure to try the 3 story outdoor slide out back by the pond !

In my opinion the greatest Art museum in the nordic countries , perhaps one the best in the world.
