Johannes Larsen museum (painting museum)

We are also going to visit this museum:

The Johannes Larsen Museum at Møllebakken in Kerteminde offers more than just an artistic experience of a special quality. The museum is also a fascinating historical architectural environment with the artist's home in the centre, surrounded by more recent buildings of great architectural interest.

Johannes Larsen was the most prominent member of the Fyn School of painters. The Fyn School was largely formed in Kerteminde - "the most beautiful little town in the world" as Johannes Larsen described the town where he was brought up. He and his wife Alhed lived here, as did Anna and Fritz Syberg and, from time to time Christine and Sigurd Swane.

Together they formed a colony of artists which acted as a magnet in attracting other artists and writers to the town. The magnetism still works, as can be seen from a visit to the museum, which portrays the themes of the artistic life of the area up to the present day.
