Waking up to bright sunshine, our destination today is the contemporary
art gallery "Louisiana" a short distance North of Copenhagen.
On arriving at the packed car park it seems that everyone else had the
same idea. No matter, although the exterior of the gallery hints at a small
building, the modern extensions mean that the space never seems unduly
crowded.
Starting our tour in the beautiful gardens where sculptures by Moore,
Miro, Calder etc. look out over the sun dappled water, we move inside,
where paintings by both Danish and international artists rub shoulders
with sculptures and drawings by Giacometti from their permanent collection.
The "blockbuster" Spring exhibition is a collection of ceramics by Picasso.
With over 150 pieces exhibited the presentation and lighting was superb.
Heading off for a late lunch we reach the picturesque fishing village of Dragor.
Wandering around the small harbour, I photographed the fishermen's huts and
narrow streets,before stopping at the Dragor Bistro for a typical Danish meal ,
before returning to Sweden, once more crossing the Oresund bridge.
