The art museum in Sorø was opened in 1943 with the aim of making Danish art works accessible to the local population. Nowadays, the museum has over 2,200 works from the period of 1700 ff. Special collections comprehensive works of medieval art, Russian art (1870-1930) and Russian icons (1500-1900).

In 2011, a new extension to the museum was opened.

The architecture and buildings of the museum alone are worth a visit.

In the main street of the historic town you will find a beautiful listed building: Sorø Art Museum, where old meets new in an elegant way.

The museum opened in 1943 in the former estate manager's house of the Sorø Academy from 1832, and in 2011 a new department was added, designed by the architects Lundgaard & Tranberg.

The extension is a wonderful example of how modern architecture approaches history and the existing environment with respect. And just like the architecture, Sorø Museum's exhibitions span a wide historical span: 300 years of art, starting with Holberg's time, through Danish Romanticism and Modernism, to very current art.

The museum's collection houses a select number of the biggest names in Danish art history, such as: E.g. Thorvaldsen, Abildgaard, Juel, Eckersberg, Lundbye, Skovgaard, Ancher, Giersing, Swane, Kirkeby and Eliasson, and even a unique collection of Russian icons can be seen in the Sorø Art Museum.
