Rudolph Tegner Museum

The Rudolph Tegner Museum displays 250 sculptures in plaster, clay, bronze, and marble inside a concrete Modernist building with an octagonal gallery.

The museum opened in 1938 after Tegner acquired the land in 1916, initially placing his sculpture King Oedipus and Antigone in the surrounding grounds.

The museum building incorporates design elements from ancient Greek temples while maintaining a Modernist approach through its concrete construction and 11-meter-high ceilings.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM, with the outdoor statue park remaining accessible throughout the year.

The museum building intentionally excludes windows, using only skylights to illuminate the collection of monumental sculptures within its concrete walls.
