Ribe Kunstmuseum
One of Denmark's earliest regional art museums, displaying Danish painting from the Golden Age to the modern era. Its garden runs along the Ribe River.
Ribe Kunstmuseum was founded in 1891 and is one of Denmark's earliest regional art museums. It is housed in a 19th-century merchant's villa and holds Danish paintings from 1750 to 1950, with a focus on the Danish Golden Age and the Skagen Painters. Works by artists such as Vilhelm Hammershøi and P.S. Krøyer are displayed here. The garden behind the museum stretches along the Ribe River and is a nice place to sit and rest. It is closed on Mondays, and admission is about 100 Danish kroner. It is near the train station, about five minutes' walk to the cathedral.
