Ordrupgaard

Ordrupgaard is an art museum and historic house in Charlottenlund, north of Copenhagen, Denmark, built around a private collection assembled in the early 20th century. The museum is known for its holdings of Danish Golden Age art and French Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings.

The collection was formed by the collector Wilhelm Hansen in the early 1900s and includes works by artists such as Monet and Gauguin alongside important Danish painters. The site combines exhibition galleries with the historic country house and its grounds, used for rotating exhibitions and permanent displays.

The museum developed as a private collection that was later institutionalized and made public, with expansions and conservation efforts to present both the domestic setting and the art collection. Ordrupgaard is a regional cultural attraction outside central Copenhagen.

Ordrupgaard sits in the suburb of Charlottenlund, approximately 10 km north of central Copenhagen, and is reachable by car or public transport from the city.
