Skovgaard Museum, Art museum in central Viborg, Denmark.

The Skovgaard Museum exhibits paintings, drawings, and decorative arts within a baroque building from 1728 at Domkirkepladsen in Viborg.

Established in 1937, the museum originated from a collection donated by the Skovgaard family, who contributed significantly to Danish art from 1830 to 1960.

The permanent collection presents works by P.C. Skovgaard, Joakim Skovgaard, and other family members who shaped Danish landscape painting and religious art.

Visitors can explore both permanent and temporary exhibitions, with guided tours available for groups through advance reservation on weekdays and weekends.

The museum houses 20,000 pieces of graphics and drawings in its archive, including preparatory sketches for the Viborg Cathedral decorations.
