Skagens Museum
The art museum with the richest collection of Skagen Painters' works, home to originals such as Krøyer's 'Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach.'
Skagens Museum was founded in 1908 by the Anchers, Krøyer, hotel owner Brøndum and others. Its collection includes about 1,800 works created in Skagen between 1870 and 1930. Highlights include Krøyer's 'Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach' and 'Hip, Hip, Hurra!', Anna Ancher's works depicting interior light, and Michael Ancher's group portraits of fishermen. The 'blue hour' beaches and fishing life in these paintings make Skagen instantly recognizable. The museum also preserves the original restaurant of Brøndum Hotel. Admission is about 130 DKK. Combined tickets with Ancher House and Drachmann House are available. The museum is in the town center and within walking distance.
