In-Depth Information
If you're coming from
Frederiksborg Castle,
you have two options: You
can catch the Lille Nord train from Hillerød to Helsingør, then change there to
a regional train heading south to Humlebæk (2/hour, 45 minutes). Alternately,
you can take the S-tog toward Copenhagen and Køge, get off at Hellerup,
thencatcharegionaltrainnorthtowardHelsingørtoreachHumlebæk(4/hour,
about 1 hour, longer but runs more frequently).
Eating:
The cafeteria, with indoor and outdoor seating, is reasonable and
welcomes picnickers who buy a drink (80-kr sandwiches at lunch, 120-kr
lunch buffet, 150-kr dinner buffet, 30-40-kr cakes).
Visiting the Museum:
Wander from famous Chagalls and Picassos to
more obscure art (everything is post-1945). Poets spend days here nourishing
their creative souls with new angles, ideas, and perspectives. Even those who
don't think they're art-lovers can get sucked into a thought-provoking exhibit
and lose track of time. There's no permanent exhibit; they constantly organize
their substantial collection into ever-changing arrangements, augmented with
borrowed and special exhibits (check
www.louisiana.dk
for the latest)—so
that Andy Warhol
Marilyn Monroe
you see on one visit may not be there
the next. (One favorite item, French sculptor César's
The Big Thumb
—which
is simply a six-foot-tall bronze thumb—isn't going anywhere, since anytime
they move it, patrons complain.) There's no audioguide, but everything is
labeled in English.
