the museum in Humlebæk, Denmark

The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, also known as just Louisiana is an art museum located on the shore of the Øresund Sound in Humlebæk, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the most visited art museum in Denmark, and has an extensive permanent collection of modern and contemporary art, dating from World War II to the present day; in addition, it has a comprehensive programme of special exhibitions. The museum is also acknowledged as a milestone in modern Danish architecture, and is noted for its synthesis of art, architecture, and landscape, such as was showcased in an installation entitled "Riverbed" shown in 2014–2015. It has been called a "Danish beacon in the international art world." The museum occasionally also stages exhibitions of work by the great impressionists and expressionists, such as Claude Monet, who was the focus of a major exhibition in 1994. It has between 600,000–700,000 visitors per year, 17–33% of whom reside in nearby Sweden. The museum is included in the Patricia Schultz book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die and ranks 85th on a list of most visited art museums (2011). In late November 2012, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art launched Louisiana Channel, a web TV channel contributing to the development of the museum as a cultural platform. In 2013, the museum's music department launched Louisiana Music, a web page dedicated to musical videos produced by the museum in collaboration with world famous musicians.

The museum is located by the Øresund coast in the North Zeeland region, some north of central Copenhagen and south of Elsinore. From the regional train station in Humlebæk, it takes 10–15 minutes to walk to the museum.

The architecture of Louisiana is considered to be an instrumental part of the museum experience, and has been used as a point of comparison to other buildings. Architects Vilhelm Wohlert and Jørgen Bo were contacted by Knud W. Jensen to design the new museum building. At first Jensen had contacted Jørn Utzon to design the museum, who himself owned a house in nearby Hellebæk. However, as Utzon was busy with working on his later successful design for the Sydney Opera House, he declined the offer. A clear source of inspiration for this building was the Kings Road House by Rudolph Schindler in Los Angeles, along with Richard Neutra's Bailey House in Pacific Palisades. Its acoustics make it especially suitable for chamber music, but it is also used for other musical genres as well as a wide array of others events and activities such as debates, lectures and symposiums. The chairs are designed by Poul Kjærholm and the rear wall is decorated with paintings created for the site by Sam Francis. In 2007 began a project to produce concert films and musical clips directed by Stéphan Aubé. All the movies are available for free on the Louisiana Music website.

The museum has a wide range of modern art paintings, sculptures and videos dating from World War II to the present day, including works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer, Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, Yves Klein, Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney and Asger Jorn. The videos are often housed in room settings where the viewer is made to feel part of the scene being portrayed. Perched above the sea, there is a sculpture garden between the museum's two wings with works by artists including Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, and Jean Arp.

Louisiana used to display a collection of Pre Columbian art. Consisting of more than 400 objects, the collection was a donation from the Wessel Bagge Foundation in 2001. It is the personal collection left by Niels Wessel Bagge, a California based Danish dancer, choreographer, and art collector, who died in 1990.

The Louisiana Museum mounts temporary exhibitions, including installations such as Danish Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's site specific work "Riverbed", which was made specifically for the museum and shown from August 2014 to January 2015. The work was in three sections with a theme that related art, architecture and nature, in which a rocky riverbed was created to take up the museum's entire south wing.

Louisiana Literature festival is an annual festival that takes place at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. Launched in 2010, the festival each year features about forty writers from across the world. They perform on stages around the museum and in the sculpture park, and attract more than 15,000 people each year.

Republic of Fritz Hansen is the Louisiana's main corporate partner through 2024. Realdania has supported Louisiana'a architectural exhibitions since 2006. The new Carlsberg foundation has supported Louisiana's acquisition programme generously throughout most of the museum's history.
