3 Malm KonstmuseumOut on Slottsholmen, in the same
building as Malm Museums, is Malm
Konstmuseum, with its outstand-
ing collection o modern Nordic art.
One o the major Swedish artists, Carl
Fredrik Hill, is represented here. Born
in 1849, he was a successul painter
living in France until he had a nervous
breakdown in 1878 and was brought
home to Sweden. Here, he was cared
or at a mental hospital and at his
home in Lund until his death in 1911.
During this period he produced
thousands o sketches sur-
real, obsessive, dreamlike sketches
that have ascinated subsequent
generations. His paintings are ondisplay, although his sketches are
not always on show. However, the
museums bookshop has a book
o Hills sketches these might
prove to be the source o the most
intense artistic experience o your
tour.

4 Skissernas MuseumIn the sculpture park in ront o Skissernas Museum
stands a battered bronze briecase on a paving-stone
plinth. This is a study or part o a larger monument
dedicated to the memory o diplomat Raoul Wallenberg,
which stands at the corner o First Avenue and 47th
Street in Manhattan, New York. The paving stones are
rom the ormer Jewish ghetto in Budapest, while thebriecase symbolises the thousands o protective pass-
ports issued by Wallenberg to save Hungarian Jews rom
the Nazis. Wallenberg himsel died in a Soviet prisoner-
o-war camp, but it is not known when or how.
When the Museum o Sketches was ounded in 1934, it
was called the Archive or Decorative Art. It was set up as
a research project to study the birth o art by collecting
and analysing studies and sketches or public artworks,
both paintings and sculptures. Thanks to donations romartists and acquisitions the collection quickly grew,
moving rom the art institution where it was ounded
into its own museum. Its premises have since been
extended fve times, and the museum is now home to
more than 30,000 works. Its galleries house miniature
versions o sculptures and ull-size plaster models, such
as Henry Moores Hill Arches, which almost flls an entire
room. And not orgetting the paintings, rom simple,
tentative pencil sketches to enormous murals by the
Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Jos Orozco.
The collections are divided up into an international
section covering Mexico, West Arica and Europe, and
including Matisses sketches or Vence Chapel in France
as well as a Nordic section and a Swedish section. The
works represent a magnifcently varied journey through
the history o modern art. The museums collection is
constantly evolving. It now includes grafti and street
art, as well as flm and video, but the more traditional
orms o art painting and sculpture remain a sourceo rich variation and real entertainment.

Museet. Founded in 1805, this is Swedens sec-
ond largest archaeological museum. For those

what constitutes a cultural arteact is extremely broad.

armour, masks rom Asia and Arica, harvesting tools and
ceramics, glass and Egyptian mummies, rocking-chairs and
modernist paintings rom the early 20th century to men-
tion but a ew o the museums 2.5 million objects. Many
o these are arranged in settings according to their histori-
cal origins.
Kulturen is also an open-air museum, and many buildings
have been brought here and re-erected in the museums
large grounds: a 14th century mediaeval house and a 16th
century peasants house, a 17th century church and an
18th century parsonage, and a tenement soldiers cottage
and a middle-class house dating rom the 19th century.
There are exhibitions about the history o glass and the
art o printing, as well as ascinating special exhibitions,
such as one consisting o unique objects made by womenin the Ravensbrck concentration camp during the Second
World War. An exhibition on the Design o Death takes

humidity. In 2005, the acclaimed architect Zaha Hadid
thereore created a large, wave-like extension to
Ordrupgaard in glass and black concrete, which has
attracted international attention. Furniture designer

Ordrupgaard. The building is an unparalleled example
o Danish modernism in terms o architecture, urniture
design and art.

brewer Carl Jacobsen, who donated his house and col-
lection to the state at the end o the 19th century. Thesame is true o some other well-known Copenhagen
museums, such as the David Collection and the Hirsch-
sprung Collection. Both o these have a main ocus based
on the interests o the collectors.

One day let on your ticket? An obvious suggestion is
Wans in northern Skne. Take the train to Hssleholm
and then the bus to Wans. We leave the plains o
Skne behind us and venture into the orests o Ginge.
This is where the 15th century stronghold o Wanscan be ound, with its organic
agriculture and grounds that
have been transormed over the
course o the last 20 years into
a sculpture park with the eel o
a dense and enchanted orest,
where twisting paths lead to the
works o art.
Work on the sculpture parkbegan in the mid-1980s. This
was the idea o the lady o the
manor, Marika Wachtmeister.
She had identifed a trend or
large works o art, requiring a
great deal o space. She began
by inviting 25 artists to exhibit
in the grounds o Wans. Ten
years later, the work o more
than 100 artists had been shown
at the sculpture park, which
included ten permanent works.
Since then, the park has continued to grow apace.
There are now 40 works by Nordic and international
artists such as Per Kirkeby, Roxy Paine, Maya Lin, Robert
Willson, Dan Graham, Ann-Sof Sidn, Jenny Holzer and
Antony Gormley. The park is open daily, all year round,rom 08:00 until 19:00.
At Wans, its not just the grounds
that have been given over to art.
The cowshed and warehouse dating
rom the 18th and 19th centuries
have been converted into new ex-
hibition spaces, and over the years
Wans has become an important
institution both or the Swedisharts and internationally. For those
who take the time to explore the
paths in the grounds and the barns
and stables, it soon becomes quite
evident that a voyage through the
world o art can be an exciting ad-
venture. And dont orget to show
your bus ticket at the entrance to
Wans youll get a 25% discount
on the admission charge.

Wans, Antony Gormley, Together and Apart, 2001.
15 Statens Museum for KunstAs is ftting or a large museum, Statens Museum or
Kunst embraces both the classical and the modern,
everyday realism, eccentric symbolism, the mysteriousand the challenging aspects o art, rom both Denmark
and the rest o the world, spanning seven centuries.
Here are a ew a ew examples.
Charming idyll: the Dutch artist Frans van Mieris
17th century inn interior Sending the Boy or Beer
(Room 263). Dramatic torment: Danish artist Nikolai
Abildgaards 1775 work The Wounded Philoctetes
(Room 217). Surprising intensity: Matisses 1905 port-
rait o his wie, with a wide streak o green across her
orehead and nose (Room 203).
Its unlikely that even the most diligent o visitors
would be able to discover all the artistic treasures that
eagerly await them in just two days. Should you spend
an extra day in Copenhagen or head back to Malm? I
youve made wise choices rom the travel opportunities
available and are looking or more artistic experiences,
there are a number o alternatives with an Around the
Sound ticket.
