Ordrupgaard Reviews

A shame that most things in the garden were closed so that the children brought could not use it.

The buildings and gardens are beautiful, the exhibitions are alway superbly curated.

Nice and cute garden, buildings as well - both old and new, but collection a bit boring...

It is very small museum and I love the location in beautiful woods and building. Worth visit.

Wonderful buildings in beautiful surroundings. The art was fascinating and beautifully displayed particularly the permanent exhibitions. I would have given this museum five stars except for one very negative part - as per most museums you have to view behind a barrier but if you have bi focals or are short sighted you cannot see the detail in the pictures. My friend and I had to lean forward to view and a very rude guard told us off for getting too close. He was unnecessary blunt and rude and put us off a lot. Couldn't see the rest of the exhibition in details so that was disappointing. Also on revisiting one part we ran into another rude guard because we weren't displaying our 'spot' tickets well enough. One of us had put a jumper on and the other had mistakenly hidden hers behind the museum brochure. Again, unnecessarily rude and obnoxious. Was so surprised I was lost for words!! How to put off paying customers!!!!! So beware - don't put a foot wrong here. Could learn some courtesy!!!!

A "country house" with a beautiful gallery of French impressionists, to which was added a modena wing of the most beautiful effect for temporary exhibitions. Beware of very short hours, from 1 pm on weekdays, but the coffee (very nice) is open from 12h with access from the back of the modern wing.

This review only covers the museum garden. Really worth a visit. Bold maze of bamboo poles. And all sorts of other fun, crazy, quirky things. Nice place to have the kids with.

My favourite museum in Copenhagen. Beautifully collection and surroundings!

Modern and traditional, this museum has its own unique atmosphere, from the entrance park walk to the sophisticated interiors of the museum itself. The restaurant is also lovely!

Very nice exhibition, architecture of Finn Juhl and Zaha Hadid and a good restaurant with a beautiful garden. What more do you want.

Ordrupgaard is situated in a lovely scenery, which is one of the reasons I enjoy visiting it every year. Especially when the weather is nice in spring, there's nothing better then enjoying a cafe in the garden.
The museum is composed of two wings, the new one which features temporary exhibitions and the old one where is the permanent exhibition. The permanent one has mostly Danish art while the temporary one focuses on different artists.

Nice museum with great art. Also child friendly. Art in the park. Good breakfast restaurant.

Ordrupgaard is a state museum under the Ministry of Culture .. And an ambitious one of a kind. Rated here at the end of June 2018 also a bit of a farce. Now, a year ago, the staff was laid off and the museum's closure was announced in October 2017 due to the forthcoming rebuilding (expansion). This was later pushed to close only at the end of 2017. And since then nothing has happened. Preparations for the conversion were not in place at all, the contractor was not found, and there is not yet the shadow of an excavator on the site.

For me, this is symptomatic of the museum, which from once in the beautiful main building and its first hall to be a little gem with a fine collection of Danish and French painting from the 19th century into the early 20th century, under the self-realization of changing directors .. Among other things. also, to promote the possibility of hosting large international exhibitions with high security requirements, ... with an extension completely unsuitable for exhibition use ... claustrophobically cramped with skewed angles, low light incidence and a hopelessly cluttered foyer area (sorry Zaha Hadid). and most recently a project "Himmelhaven" which in the spirit of the times must be buried underground, which is why all the trees in front of the main building are supposed to die.

All this said, the museum, when it otherwise works, is still worth a visit both for its fine permanent collection and the changing special exhibitions. In addition, the park behind the museum in good international style has been incorporated into an art park, quite effectively .. and currently during the museum's general closure is actually still open and accessible.

World class art and a magnificient building by Zaha Hadid and funny art installations in the garden by Olafur Eliasson. I prefer the Hammershoi paintings in the old building, though.

Before the closure, it was a really good art museum with an associated park, you could eat packed lunches or enjoy the sun in. The park is still open during the renovation of the museum, and it is a cozy excursion.

Good exhibits, presentable decor and good facilities. Cafe ok.

Loved the art selection there. I was there for the Monet. They keep changing the exhibit. Definitely worth a visit if you are biking nearby. It cost something but it is free on certain days. Do make sure to check the website before you plan.

Amazing place, worth visiting! And it's close to Dyrehavsbakken, witch is one of the most beautiful parks in Copenhagen.

Fantastic museum with Danish and French painting, collected by Wilhelm Hansen, among others. director of Hafnia. In the park there are various arts and sculptures. THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED FOR 2 YEARS and opens late 2019 with a new extension called "Himmelhaven"

The museum and the house were closed due to renovations, but the art park was open and a great experience with works that could be played with.

The museum is closed. But there is an excellent artificial playground

Great paint collection. New building somewhat forced in relation to the old. Nice cafeteria area. Acceptable food

Great place if it is renovated. Original interactive art objects. Now a little neglected but I assume that it will be spic and span again at the opening of the museum in 2020.

Magnificent painting exhibition. Unique furniture collection in a museum of a house. The garden which was to be known for its sculptures had much to live up to.

Nice art museum as an alternative to nearby Louisiana

came here for zaha hadid and didn't expect so much more fun! the outdoor area is spiced up by art installations and it's an ideal place to spend an afternoon. food was sold out when i arrived the cafe but the staff friendlily suggested other things still available. worths the 50min commuting from my airbnb!

Good exhibition, impressive architecture and garden with interesting objects!

Very good location - close to the forest and quiet area of the mansions. In addition, the museum has a large area with different swings and amusements.

Extremely expensive for such a small museum,eveb though the exhibitions are nice. There is a big surrounding area that could have been made much nicer and cozier, but is underused. Super crowded on the weekend, it seems like the entire More

Ordrupgaard is under renovation, so the indoor exhibition is closed, but the bamboo tower in the park is a great experience.

Sculpture having an amazing but the museum itself undergoing renovation

I just visited the park since the museum is closed until 2019. It was a great experience! Interesting art and also nicely maintained landscape (much like Louisiana). Great spot to have a picnic or bring kids. Especially recommend the new bamboo sculpture!

Jan 2017 - Charming and subdued exhibition by L. A. Ring

Wonderful location and building. The temporary exhibition of Monet is fantastic.

The Carl Larsson exhibition was excellent. But it is incredible that there is only one person to operate the ticket queue and that the same person must also take care of the store sales. We gave up buying the book, which belongs to the exhibition, because the queue was far too long when we had seen the exhibition. I then thought that you could order the book over the net, but neither can you.
In addition, we had a disabled person who had to participate in lunch at the cafe. But the access road to the chute was closed because the showrooms were not opened. That is not acceptable. Fortunately, there was a helpful waitress who opened the access door, after having unsuccessfully asked for help from the other staff.

Lovely museum. Unfortunately, currently closed due to conversion

Revolving exhibitions. Zaha Hadid extension overrated and not appropriate the setting though.

Wonderful place. Many good works in nice surroundings.

The space in the museum is pretty and the garden in the back is really pretty.

Beautiful buildings, great outside art playground (free), nice cafe but expensive admission fees.

Fantastic Museum and an amazing park with activities and art objects.

Good art in nice buildings situated in nice surroundings

Nice collection of french and danish impressionist painters. They also have a visiting exhibition that changes throughout the year.

Great place to enjoy both its museum and the outdoor park. The children will have a better time than you.

Nice museum, full of works of French impressionism. Particularly noteworthy is the house of the architect and designer Finn Juhl.

Exhibition is limited both in quality and quantity by comparison to SMK or other art museums. Entry price likewise disproportionate. Cafe is stunningly crowded with only half of available floor space being utilized!

Amazing place. They're renovating at the moment but check out the cool exhibitions in the garden. Go for a picnic.

Lovely outdoor setting. The museum was closed, but it was fun to experience the outdoor works. There would be plenty of room to sit down with a packed lunch on the lawn under the trees.

Super nice outdoor area. Mega fat artwork. Will definitely come again.

Interesting installations in the park. The museum is closed until 2021

The sculpture garden is of outstanding quality and beauty. Be sure to visit this gem also while construction of the new museum building is in progress.

The park surrounding the museum is great for kids to run around and play with the installations

Unbelievable! This museum is for me, a great lover of architecture, a real gem with the magnificent extension of Zaha Hadid and the house of Fin Juhl. French Impressionist works, however, leave me hungry.

A nice place for an excursion. Nice exhibits, lovely garden and a nice cafe

Wonderful structure designed by Zaha Hadid in the green of a beautiful forest. Green meadows all around and interesting outdoor installations. Shows inside very beautiful and quite rich, shame about the poor and poorly positioned lighting.

Beautiful architecture designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid. The experience from exterior and interior of the building is each unique yet coherent to one another, a master piece of architectural design.
