Lecture on Bolette Puggaard: Tuesday 3 November 2026, 17:00–18:00, Nivaagaards Malerisamling, Nivå.

Who was Bolette Puggaard (1798-1847) - and why has Nivaagaards Malerisamling just acquired her private archive?

Art historian and museum curator Kira Kofoed from Thorvaldsens Museum brings to light the largely forgotten Bolette Puggaard: landscape painter, salon hostess, patron, and rebel.

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.
