3 Malm KonstmuseumOut on Slottsholmen, in the same

building as Malm Museums, is Malm

Konstmuseum, with its outstand-

ing collection o modern Nordic art.

One o the major Swedish artists, Carl

Fredrik Hill, is represented here. Born

in 1849, he was a successul painter

living in France until he had a nervous

breakdown in 1878 and was brought

home to Sweden. Here, he was cared

or at a mental hospital and at his

home in Lund until his death in 1911.

During this period he produced

thousands o sketches sur-

real, obsessive, dreamlike sketches

that have ascinated subsequent

generations. His paintings are ondisplay, although his sketches are

not always on show. However, the

museums bookshop has a book

o Hills sketches these might

prove to be the source o the most

intense artistic experience o your

tour.

Sketch by Carl Fredrik Hill

4 Skissernas MuseumIn the sculpture park in ront o Skissernas Museum

stands a battered bronze briecase on a paving-stone

plinth. This is a study or part o a larger monument

dedicated to the memory o diplomat Raoul Wallenberg,

which stands at the corner o First Avenue and 47th

Street in Manhattan, New York. The paving stones are

rom the ormer Jewish ghetto in Budapest, while thebriecase symbolises the thousands o protective pass-

ports issued by Wallenberg to save Hungarian Jews rom

the Nazis. Wallenberg himsel died in a Soviet prisoner-

o-war camp, but it is not known when or how.

When the Museum o Sketches was ounded in 1934, it

was called the Archive or Decorative Art. It was set up as

a research project to study the birth o art by collecting

and analysing studies and sketches or public artworks,

both paintings and sculptures. Thanks to donations romartists and acquisitions the collection quickly grew,

moving rom the art institution where it was ounded

into its own museum. Its premises have since been

extended fve times, and the museum is now home to

more than 30,000 works. Its galleries house miniature

versions o sculptures and ull-size plaster models, such

as Henry Moores Hill Arches, which almost flls an entire

room. And not orgetting the paintings, rom simple,

tentative pencil sketches to enormous murals by the

Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Jos Orozco.

The collections are divided up into an international

section covering Mexico, West Arica and Europe, and

including Matisses sketches or Vence Chapel in France

as well as a Nordic section and a Swedish section. The

works represent a magnifcently varied journey through

the history o modern art. The museums collection is

constantly evolving. It now includes grafti and street

art, as well as flm and video, but the more traditional

orms o art painting and sculpture remain a sourceo rich variation and real entertainment.

Lets turn our attention inwards, to-

wards the plains and coastline o

Skne. The train journey rom Malm

to the university city o Lund takes

just a quarter o an hour.

6 Historiska MuseetJust one block away rom Kulturen is Historiska

Museet. Founded in 1805, this is Swedens sec-

ond largest archaeological museum. For those

with an interest in art theres a section thats

well worth a visit: the department o mediaeval

church art. The numerous sculptors interpreta-

tions o Christ on the cross, the grieving Mary

and the fgures around them make or a power-

ul experience.

5 KulturenLund is a compact city, and its only a short walk to the

next museum, Kulturen. Kulturen was ounded in 1892

with the aim o collecting cultural arteacts that were at

risk o being lost, originally only rom Sweden but subse-quently also rom around the world. The interpretation o

what constitutes a cultural arteact is extremely broad.

Here you will fnd dolls houses and Japanese samurai

armour, masks rom Asia and Arica, harvesting tools and

ceramics, glass and Egyptian mummies, rocking-chairs and

modernist paintings rom the early 20th century to men-

tion but a ew o the museums 2.5 million objects. Many

o these are arranged in settings according to their histori-

cal origins.

Kulturen is also an open-air museum, and many buildings

have been brought here and re-erected in the museums

large grounds: a 14th century mediaeval house and a 16th

century peasants house, a 17th century church and an

18th century parsonage, and a tenement soldiers cottage

and a middle-class house dating rom the 19th century.

There are exhibitions about the history o glass and the

art o printing, as well as ascinating special exhibitions,

such as one consisting o unique objects made by womenin the Ravensbrck concentration camp during the Second

World War. An exhibition on the Design o Death takes

Kulturens collection o weapons as its starting point. Kul-

turen is a museum that provides visitors with a wealth o

impressions surprise, conusion and enlightenment just

as every good museum should.

Ordrupgaard, near Klampenborg, is the next stop on

your train journey. Ingres, Delacroix, Manet, Monet,

Renoir, Corot... yes, all the big names are represented

in the collection. As you explore the beautiul Danish

collection, stop to take in Hammershis mysterious

interiors, which vibrate with silence.

In todays museum world, there are strict requirements

in terms o actors such as security and atmospheric

humidity. In 2005, the acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid

thereore created a large, wave-like extension to

Ordrupgaard in glass and black concrete, which has

attracted international attention. Furniture designer

and architect Finn Juhls house is now also part o

Ordrupgaard. The building is an unparalleled example

o Danish modernism in terms o architecture, urniture

design and art.

Just like Louisiana and Ordrupgaard, the Glyptotek was

originally a private collection, in this case owned by

brewer Carl Jacobsen, who donated his house and col-

lection to the state at the end o the 19th century. Thesame is true o some other well-known Copenhagen

museums, such as the David Collection and the Hirsch-

sprung Collection. Both o these have a main ocus based

on the interests o the collectors.

One day let on your ticket? An obvious suggestion is

Wans in northern Skne. Take the train to Hssleholm

and then the bus to Wans. We leave the plains o

Skne behind us and venture into the orests o Ginge.

This is where the 15th century stronghold o Wanscan be ound, with its organic

agriculture and grounds that

have been transormed over the

course o the last 20 years into

a sculpture park with the eel o

a dense and enchanted orest,

where twisting paths lead to the

works o art.

Work on the sculpture parkbegan in the mid-1980s. This

was the idea o the lady o the

manor, Marika Wachtmeister.

She had identifed a trend or

large works o art, requiring a

great deal o space. She began

by inviting 25 artists to exhibit

in the grounds o Wans. Ten

years later, the work o more

than 100 artists had been shown

at the sculpture park, which

included ten permanent works.

Since then, the park has continued to grow apace.

There are now 40 works by Nordic and international

artists such as Per Kirkeby, Roxy Paine, Maya Lin, Robert

Willson, Dan Graham, Ann-Sof Sidn, Jenny Holzer and

Antony Gormley. The park is open daily, all year round,rom 08:00 until 19:00.

At Wans, its not just the grounds

that have been given over to art.

The cowshed and warehouse dating

rom the 18th and 19th centuries

have been converted into new ex-

hibition spaces, and over the years

Wans has become an important

institution both or the Swedisharts and internationally. For those

who take the time to explore the

paths in the grounds and the barns

and stables, it soon becomes quite

evident that a voyage through the

world o art can be an exciting ad-

venture. And dont orget to show

your bus ticket at the entrance to

Wans youll get a 25% discount

on the admission charge.

Statens Museum for Kunst, Nicolai Abildgaard,The Wounded Philoctetes, 1775

Wans, Antony Gormley, Together and Apart, 2001.

15 Statens Museum for KunstAs is ftting or a large museum, Statens Museum or

Kunst embraces both the classical and the modern,

everyday realism, eccentric symbolism, the mysteriousand the challenging aspects o art, rom both Denmark

and the rest o the world, spanning seven centuries.

Here are a ew a ew examples.

Charming idyll: the Dutch artist Frans van Mieris

17th century inn interior Sending the Boy or Beer

(Room 263). Dramatic torment: Danish artist Nikolai

Abildgaards 1775 work The Wounded Philoctetes

(Room 217). Surprising intensity: Matisses 1905 port-

rait o his wie, with a wide streak o green across her

orehead and nose (Room 203).

Its unlikely that even the most diligent o visitors

would be able to discover all the artistic treasures that

eagerly await them in just two days. Should you spend

an extra day in Copenhagen or head back to Malm? I

youve made wise choices rom the travel opportunities

available and are looking or more artistic experiences,

there are a number o alternatives with an Around the

Sound ticket.
