Nivaagaards Malerisamling, Nivå

lecture culture

The lecture focuses on Christine Swane's mosaic in Damsøbadet and its role in the post-World War I efforts to bring art to the places where people lived their daily lives.

This way of thinking gained ground after the First World War, driven by a desire to heal the wounds of war and unite the population.

About the venue: Nivaagaards Malerisamling

Nivaagaards Malerisamling is an art museum next to Nivågård, founded when landowner Johannes Hage transferred his private collection to the public as an independent institution in 1908. The permanent collection covers the Italian and Northern European Renaissance, Dutch Baroque and the Danish Golden Age, and the museum has gained international recognition for its holdings of female Renaissance and Baroque artists. Two to three temporary exhibitions are held each year, often featuring more recent art. The museum sits in a large garden with old trees and rhododendrons, and runs a programme of lectures, concerts, guided tours and drawing classes.
