Hirschsprung Collection

A jewel of a gallery
Word to the wise: The gallery is very close to the Danish National Gallery, so art lovers can easily combine both in a visit.

This gallery is a favourite with locals, thanks to its lovely parkland setting and the quality of its work. Based around the collection of 19th century tobacco manufacturer and art patron Heinrich Hirschsprung, the pieces focus on the Golden Age of Danish art, from 1800-1850, when naturalism came to the fore.
You probably won't know most of the artists, but that won't matter. Hirschsprung's taste was superb, and the collection provides an excellent overview of what many consider to be the most accomplished period of Danish art. Many of the paintings capture Denmark's particular quality of light, as much in evidence now as it was 200 years ago.

The gallery is located in Osterbro, with the nearest metro station Norreport.
