About this place:

Ordrupgaard Museum. A world-class collection and magnificent space. The Hadid Building is a work of art in itself. Just 30 minutes north of Copenhagen Denmark. Definitely worth the trip!
From their Website:
"Ordrupgaard is a state-owned art museum under the Danish Ministry of Culture located near Copenhagen. Ordrupgaard's collection features 19th-century French and Danish art, including works by important Romantic, Realist, and Impressionist painters. The private collector Wilhelm Hansen obtained many of the collection's pieces in the early 20th century, and the collection is displayed in its original setting in what was the Hansens' mansion. In addition to this, a new extension designed by the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid has been added to the museum, providing the museum with a visionary building of international standing."

    My life was changed by a free tourist mag. You know, the crinkled, reused kind you get in your hotel room. Well, as I was flipping through it (in the wc) I came across a little advert for a Mondrian exhibit at the Ordrupgaard Museum. We even extended our stay in Copenhagen by one night so we could go on Tuesday when they were open. Mondrian is my fave so this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it didn't dissapoint! To see so many works in person was a religious experience. "Red Windmill" is a humbling masterpiece!
