Getting there from Copemhagen city

Train to Klampenborg or Lyngby Station, then bus 388 to Vilvordevej and a 2 minutes walk to the museum. (My way back, best choice)

Or bus 169, 179, 185 to Femvejen, which is about 20 minutes walk to Ordrupgaard.

The gate of the museum complex.

The park on your way to the museum entrance. You can see the two connected buildings.

The entrance is in the new extension by Zaha Hadid.

Close up of entrance.

Parts of the brief seem unresolved or unfinished(?), i.e. the delivery to the restaurant kitchen. It's directly next to the entrance and looked like this while I was there. The stairs don't seem to fulfil the needs either.

The restaurant kitchen is directly under the connection between old and new museum.

Closer view of the situation.

Detail. I really liked the concrete colour although the quality of the surfaces and edges was a bit disappointing. There was some decay apparent at the sharp edges.

Closing in on the entrance.

Looking up at the curve in the roof/wall.

The ticket counter inside. It is prohibited to take pictures in the exhibition spaces which were convincing and had movable partition walls. I especially liked the top section which was divided into small cabinet rooms.

Niche to the lockers and rest rooms.

The rest rooms.

Detail of the counter.

Entrance into the upper exhibition space (right), path to café and multifunctional space (left).

Details of counter area.

Between café and top exh. space.

The benches in the museum.

Danger zone.

Path to lower exhibition space.

Going down to the café.

As the multifunctional space is only empty space most of the time, the café was extended. The room still seemed empty.

Great view into the 'backyard' of the park.

The real (small) café area. I loved the colour composition with the black wall.

Looking back. There was a video running on the building and the ZH. At the entrance also.

Going back up.

Going out for a round outside.

The kitchen.

The old museum building.

Looking across to the Hadid extension.

Café from outside.

The outside surfaces seem unfinished. Does anyone have more information?

The concrete was apparently pumped into the formwork from below to ensure the quality of the surface.

Looking back.

Last shot.
