In a Collector's Footsteps
An autumn holiday activity where children and adults explore the collections of Johannes Hage at Nivaagaard's Painting Collection and Brick Works Kiln.
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.
Gammel Strandvej 2, 2990 Nivå
