Skagens Museum

The journey to Skagen was still very difficult at that time; the harbor was only built in 1907, and the railway line was not extended to the tip of Denmark until 1890.
The artists' colony in Skagen was part of an international phenomenon. This was due not only to the fact that artists traveled to Skagen from various parts of Scandinavia, but also to the parallel emergence of other artists' colonies in various parts of Europe, Russia, and North America. The colony was visited not only by artists, but also by authors, composers, musicians, singers, actors, and craftsmen. Some of these artists were among the most well-known figures in Denmark and Scandinavia in the 19th century.
At the turn of the century, the influence of the artists' colony on Danish art diminished. This changed with the founding of the Skagen Museum in 1908.
The museum was founded in the Brøndum Dining Room by the artists Michael Ancher, P.S. Krøyer, and Laurits Tuxen, along with hotel owner Degn Brøndum and pharmacist Victor Chr. Klæbel. It was completed in 1928, and the collection comprised 325 works at that time. Through the merger of the museum with Anchers Hus and Drachmanns Hus in 2014, the collection now consists of over 9,000 works.

Drachmann's House
Highlight • Historical Site
The house now houses a collection of over 150 paintings and works on paper, as well as personal belongings such as Drachmann's plaited slippers.
Holger Drachmann was a very important figure in the Skagen artist colony. He was the one who was one of the first artists to travel to Skagen in 1872 and who attracted many fellow artists to Skagen in the decades that followed. He himself literally fell in love with the breathtaking landscape and the simple life in the far north.
