Munkeruphus, Museum and exhibition space in Munkerup, Denmark.
Munkeruphus is a museum and exhibition venue located in Gribskov Municipality along the Danish coast. The two-story building with horizontal board siding, shingled hip roof, and nine symmetrical bays features French doors throughout, creating flexible interior spaces for rotating displays.
The building was constructed in 1916 for engineer Frederik Raaschou, designed by architects Terkel Hjejle and Niels Rosenkjær. The design reflected American architectural influences that were uncommon in this region at that time.
The space hosts rotating exhibitions throughout the year that focus on contemporary art, design, and architecture. Visitors experience these works displayed within a protected coastal building that now serves as a cultural venue.
The venue is located along the coast with straightforward access and operates on set days throughout the week. The property includes a café for refreshments, and the staff offers guided tours and workshops for visitors who want to learn more.
The property spans 16 hectares down to sandy beaches with views across the water toward Sweden. Outdoor sculptures are scattered throughout the grounds, creating connections between the architecture and the surrounding landscape.
