Denmark - Zealand - Louisiana Museum 03 spiral_mono_DSC7234

The architecture of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is rather subtle, rather than big flashy glass boxes that seem so popular these days it forms a series of discrete buildings within the landscape connected by corridors. The differing spaces form a series of spaces with unique qualities giving options to Curators when putting together new exhibitions.

From Wikipedia : "The name of the museum derives from the first owner of the property, Alexander Brun, who named the villa after his three wives, all named Louise. The museum was created in 1958 by Knud W. Jensen, the owner at the time. He contacted architects Vilhelm Wohlert and Jørgen Bo who spent a few months walking around the property before deciding how a new construction would best fit into the landscape. This study resulted in the first version of the museum consisting of three buildings connected by glass corridors. Since then it has been extended several times until it reached its present circular shape in 1991."
