museums and galleries online

Museums and galleries in the city are closed but, unless the situation changes and there are new instructions from the government, then the plan, at the moment, seems to be that they will reopen after 13th April.

For many of the museums and galleries this has meant that important temporary exhibitions have closed.

Some of the museums and galleries have boosted the material on their online sites so Designmuseum Danmark now has a Digital Guide; the site for Statens Museum for Kunst, The National Gallery in Copenhagen, has a new site SMK.OPEN and already had an amazing online catalogue of major works where you are welcome to download high-resolution images and the Louisiana Channel, from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, is a brilliant resource.
