Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

Louisiana is often named among the most beautiful museums in Europe, and it is as much about the setting as the art. Low galleries are linked by glass corridors through a garden that slopes down to the sea, with sculptures set among the trees and a café terrace looking across the water toward Sweden. It is named after the three wives of the original owner, all called Louise. Allow a half day and take the train from Copenhagen.
