Nivågård’s Malerisamling — Attraction in Fredensborg Municipality

The museum is nice but my experience today was not the best. When I arrived and bought the ticket, the lady told me that I had to leave my handbag with her. I was very surprised but I left it with her. When I went inside the exebition room I saw that everybody had their bags. I went back to the lady and asked why me and why my bag when everybody inside the museum had their bags... She said that there was a lot of people visiting the museum and she couldn't see who had a bag. Well, the most weird was that she placed my bag on the floor near her feet and I didn't see any other bags there and further more I didn't get a receipt or paper to prove that she had my bag... So... I have to say that is very weird that she just notice my hand bag in the middle of so many visitors. I was reading the rules of the museum and there is written that for security reasons baby wagon are not allowed. Nothing about handbags... And mine is really normal size!!!! Never experienced anything like this in any museum I visited worldwide!!!! And I think that it is an extremely rude attitude placing my bag...

Danish painter Janus la Cour from the 19th century was exhibited with a large number of paintings under the title "quietness". He painted after the golden period, in the beginning of modernism, and made his own niche. Nature was important to him, more so than people and other reminders of humanity, but while there is only one painting with people (see if you can spot them in the landscape) there is in 9/10 paintings some signs of humans. A sailing ship on the ocean, the ruts of a horse carriage path through the landscape, or the remains of an old wooden fence. He was a gifted painter - and the exhibition is very...

We came here a late Sunday afternoon mid August of 2025 to listen to the Norwegian born artist Ann Lislegaard's sound installation presenting the sound of extinct birds in the beautiful rhododendron park close to the straight separating Denmark from Sweden. Well hidden loudspeakers are mounted in the high trees and the sound of these birds creates a surreal atmosphere, in particular when mixed with the sounds of birds living in the park. Unfortuntely we were well beyond the flowering season of the rhododendrons, so that will be for a future visit. We had coffee and cake on their terrace afterwards and visited the nice museum shop for...
