Anchers Hus, House museum and art gallery in Skagen, Denmark

The residence displays original furniture, personal belongings, and numerous paintings created by Michael and Anna Ancher throughout their artistic careers.

The building served as home to painters Michael and Anna Ancher from 1884 until 1935, when it was transformed into a museum by their daughter Helga.

The museum presents works by members of the Skagen Painters group, who gathered in northern Denmark to capture the region's distinctive light in their art.

The museum expanded in 1989 with the addition of the neighboring Saxild House, which now contains a cafe, storage facilities, and photo exhibitions.

The house maintains the original studio annex designed by architect Ulrik Plesner in 1913, featuring large windows for natural light during painting sessions.
