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.

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.

Museum Jorn marks the 100th birthday of Poul Gernes with a presentation of significant Gernes works from the collection.

Austrian painter, Martha Jungwirth (b. 1940), has attracted considerable attention on the international art scene in recent years. Balancing between the abstract and the figurative, Jungwirth's expressive works are characterized by energetic brushstrokes and coordinated color compositions.
