Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark)

Copenhagen, Denmark

Statens Museum for Kunst, the National Gallery of Denmark, is the country's principal art museum, located in Copenhagen. Its collections grew out of the royal art holdings of the Danish kings, and the main museum building, designed by Vilhelm Dahlerup and Georg Møller, opened in 1896, with a large modern wing added in the late twentieth century.

The museum holds an extensive collection of Danish and European art from the fourteenth century to the present, including a notable group of works from the Danish Golden Age as well as European Old Masters.
