Horsens Art Museum, Art museum in Horsens, Denmark.
Horsens Art Museum is a contemporary art museum in Horsens, Denmark, displaying paintings, sculptures, and graphic works across multiple exhibition spaces. The building sits within a park setting that also serves as part of the exhibition experience through outdoor installations.
The museum was founded in 1906 by local citizens and became independent in 1915 when it moved into its own building and separated from the cultural history collection. This transition established it as a dedicated art institution.
The collection holds an exceptional concentration of works by Michael Kvium, a painter who grew up in Horsens and has shaped modern Danish art. Walking through the galleries, you encounter different periods of his artistic practice and witness how local artists contribute to the broader contemporary art scene.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 to 16:00, with later closing times on weekends. Plan your visit to explore both the indoor galleries and the outdoor park spaces comfortably.
Since 1984, the museum has expanded its reach by placing art installations throughout the surrounding park, blending creative works directly with natural landscapes. This approach turns a visit into an experience that flows between indoor galleries and outdoor spaces.
