WELCOME

J.F. Willumsen – One of a kind and a great norm breaker in Danish art. Step inside his world, where transgressive, wild and ambitious works continue to challenge and fascinate us. Here at his museum you can experience Willumsen’s art, his private art collection and special exhibitions, as well as a range of activities for all ages.

EXHIBITIONS

Like a Moth to the Flame

There is a series of incredible coincidences in the works of Margin Bigum and J.F. Willumsen. Themes, color tones and motifs sneak in and out of each other across time and place. These coincidences – which have in the exhibition been placed side by side – in themselves make a juxtaposition between the two artists interesting. However, it is the artistic process, seen from the perspective of the creative artist, that is the core of the exhibition. At the exhibition, the audience can experience paintings, lithographs, sculptures, photographs, drawings, and sketches by Willumsen and Bigum – from their very young years to their more mature productions. Also, Martin Bigum’s collection of songs and poems “Overmorgen” and piano improvisations will be part of the exhibition in dialogue with the exhibited works.

EXHIBITIONS

Willumsen’s World

Take a look inside Willumsens’s World. Today many of Willumsen’s major works stand as significant contributions to Nordic modernism, but equally many were previously dismissed and have only recently been reclaimed by art history. Throughout his life Willumsen was determined to go his own way, and some of his most radical and explosively colourful works were made towards its end. This late period has, until recently, been largely underestimated, fulfilling Willumsen’s prophecy that his art would only be understood by posterity.

EVENTS

We strive to have a wide range of events ready for you at all times. Family Sundays, talks, public tours, yoga-events and more.

Tak til @schloss_gottorf for at iscenesætte en smuk udstilling med en lang række af Willumsens hovedværker. Hvis turen går til Tyskland i den kommende tid er det oplagt at slå et smut forbi Slesvig og et skud - som de selv betegner det på Gottorp Slot - Willumsens farveterapi i den grå, nordeuropæiske vinter.

Her er det Edith Willumsens portræt af hovedpersonen på udstillingen "Generalprøve", J.F. Willumsen. Vises til 2. marts 2025.

161 år er det siden, at J.F. Willumsen kom til verden, og en lille ny verdenskunstner så dagens lys.
Lige nu bygger dygtige folk løs på hans museum i Frederikssund, men indtil det står klar, kan kunst fra Willumsens Museums samling opleves på:
@fuglsangkunstmuseum i "I lyset af Nordafrika"
@skovgaardmuseet med et værk i udstillingen "Vildt nok"
@randerskunstmuseum i "Som et møl mod flammen."

Tillykke, Hr. Willumsen 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Det er ikke Willumsen, men det er en kronjuvel i Willumsens egen kunstsamling, den såkaldte Gamle Samling: Hyrdernes tilbedelse fra ca. 1567 af en af de helt store mestre El Greco. Willumsen købte værket i 1911 hos en kunsthandler i Firenze og er i dag et af de eneste El Greco-værker på dansk jord.

Værket kan du se på Nivaagaards Malerisamling i hele perioden, mens Willumsens Museum bygges om.

I de kommende uger arbejder vi på at få gode billedskolefaciliteter op at stå på vores midlertidige lokation i Jægerspris. Billedskoleholdene starter til september (læs mere på hjemmesiden), og det bliver rigtig godt, selvom rammerne er anderledes, end de plejer.

Næste gang vi holder workshop for voksne, bliver den 14. september til Ord over Fjord på Campus i Frederikssund.
