Louisiana MoMA adventure

After my visit to Helsingør and discovering the wonders of new Culture Centre Kultur Værftet, I took a train to Frederiksbourg. This beautiful town has become home to another cultural spot, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The town is half-hour train journey from Copenhagen and you can purchase a ticket that will buy you both travelling and the entrance fee (and will save you a few kronas). When walking towards the museum along the coastline, where cliffs and breathtaking views make it into an adventure in itself, I could not stop wondering how unique Denmark is. You would not think of a better place for an art gallery, right next to the sea, to the waves, to the sky. It is all this never ending spacial freedom that we find ourselves surrounded by, that makes this gallery's visit into an unforgettable experience. All galleries that I have attended in London could not compete with their sometimes claustrophobic, windowless, locations, positioned in a way where your brain finds its limits in thinking and creative freedoms. Here you let go of your limitations.You breath in fresh winds and find yourself inspired even before stepping inside the gallery.

You would't think that Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a big gallery when you enter this falsely small looking village-type house covered in plants that bring that feeling of coziness one might feel at their home garden. Large white space opens right after you enter that building and you realise how mistaken you were about its scale. Corridors lead you onto long but perfectly-timed journeys through exhibitions. Open space and views over the sea follow you throughout your wanderings and it is only occasionally when you stop to think about true dimensions and size of the gallery. It is not the size, but rather the planning, corridors and mazes that fool you into thinking that it is it a rather big building. In reality, it looks tiny from outside, flat, and as if it has grown out of the earth like a mushroom.
