Visit Museum Jorn

Museum Jorn pays tribute to this important period in Danish art with a compressed presentation of works from some of the school's most important representatives: Per Kirkeby, Peter Louis-Jensen, Poul Gernes and John Davidsen.

Now the filtrate of the museum's work with contemporary art's international heavyweights can be experienced in a dialogical presentation, where the most important new acquisitions are shown side by side with Per Kirkeby's art.

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.

Over the summer of 2024, Museum Jorn will show the first comprehensive solo exhibition in Denmark with the internationally renowned Austrian painter and action artist Hermann Nitsch (1938-2022).

Museum Jorn showcases one of the most watched art films in the world with Peter Fischli & David Weiss' film The Way Things Go from 1987
