Michael & Anna Ancher's House
Anchers Hus
The former home of the Ancher couple, core figures of the Skagen Painters, with their studio and interiors preserved and the light just as it appears in their paintings.
Michael and Anna Ancher lived in this yellow house from 1884. After their daughter Helga died, it was kept as it was in accordance with her wishes, and it opened as a museum in 1967. Almost all the furniture, painting equipment, the studio and the artworks on the walls are original. Here is the sunlit blue room that Anna painted, so you can compare it with her canvases and experience the 'Skagen light' for yourself. The neighbouring Saeks Wolff Manor displays more works by the Ancher family. Tickets can be bought as a combined ticket with the Skagen Museum, and the two sites are about a 3-minute walk apart.
