The home that Johannes and Alhed Larsen created became a key meeting place for the artists of the time. Today, the home looks very much as it did when the Larsen family were living there.

The garden around Johannes and Alhed Larsen’s home was intended to provide motifs for art. So in the large garden they created space for rare trees and plants, and birds and animals. There was also an extensive vegetable garden.

Johannes Larsen referred to his studio as his ‘workshop’. It was here he created a large number of his major and well-known works. Right next to Johannes Larsen’s studio is the smaller workshop of Alhed Larsen. Both studios have direct access to Alhed’s beautiful conservatory.

The museum’s permanent collection features works by Johannes Larsen and Fritz Syberg, and many of the other artists associated with the Funen Painters (‘Fynbomalerne’) or Kerteminde.

The museum’s special exhibitions take place in ‘The Wing’ exhibition building. Here, there is always something new and fascinating to see.
