Visit Museum Jorn

Museum Jorn has in its possession a major collection of symbolist and expressionist Danish art from the late nineteenth century until the 1930s. Asger Jorn was very interested in the art of this period, which provided both the historical background and inspiration for his own art.

The Danish painter, graphic artist, ceramicist and author Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is one of Scandinavia's most influential and internationally renowned artists. The exhibition shows the highlights from the museum's collection of Jorn.

The exhibition shows some of the most significant works from the Ex-school's active period (1961-1969) in combination with later works by the school's representatives. Experience Per Kirkeby, Richard Winther, Lene Adler Petersen and more.

Museum Jorn houses the largest collection of Asger Jorn’s art. At present, the collection comprises more than hundred and fifty paintings, more than fifty sculptures, several hundred drawings and prints, as well as a handful of tapestries. The exhibition presents the latest, som very prominent, new acquisitions and relates their interesting stories.

Markus Lüpertz (b.1941) is one of Germany’s most influential artists after World War II. His paintings and sculptures were presented at a large retrospective exhibition at Museum Jorn in 2020. In recognition of the museum’s engaged presentation of his art, Lüpertz donated more than fifty major works to the museum collection.
