Visit Museum Jorn

Museum Jorn today has the world’s largest collection of Asger Jorn’s (1914-1973) works, and through a large and varied selection, the exhibition reproduces the story of the world-renowned artist from Silkeborg.

Thanks to a great deal of commitment and generous hospitality, Asger Jorn's murals from Læsø have now found their way to Jorn's artistic hometown, Silkeborg, where they will in future be displayed permanently in a spacious installation.

Per Kirkeby (1938–2018) is internationally the most influential Danish artist of his generation. Under the title MASTERPIECES, Museum Jorn presents a selection of the most formative Kirkeby works from its collection.

The Israeli installation, video, and performance artist Sigalit Landau (b. 1969 in Jerusalem) works with highly sensitive social, political, and environmental issues.

24 Danish and international artists meet in thematic dialogues around themes that defined Per Kirkeby's art.

Behind Per Kirkeby's monumental canvases lies another, more immediate trace: drawing. The exhibition offers a new perspective on an artist many believe they know—and demonstrates that great movements often begin in a smaller format.

Museum Jorn shines light on one of the most innovative figures in Danish and international art.
