Museo Hendrik Christian Andersen
Museo Hendrik Christian Andersen, House museum in Parioli district, Rome, Italy.
Description
Museo Hendrik Christian Andersen is an artist museum in Rome housed in Villa Helene with two large studios on the ground floor and residential quarters above. The collection contains more than seven hundred works of sculpture, painting, and prints from different periods of his career.
History
A Norwegian-American sculptor purchased the land and built this structure between 1922 and 1925 with its two studios. After his death he bequeathed the entire villa and collection to the Italian state.
Culture
The artist worked here on his ambitious vision for an ideal world city and left his legacy to the Italian government. The works show his passion for monumental architecture and urban ideals that remain visible throughout the spaces.
Practical
Visitors enter the building from street level and find the collection spread across multiple floors. The stairs connecting the levels require adequate physical mobility so visitors should assess their own capabilities accordingly.
Did you know?
The ground floor studio preserves monumental sculptures and portrait heads showing how the artist worked on large architectural projects. These original workspaces let visitors see how ideas developed from design sketches to finished sculpture.
