10 Museums in Bronderslev That You Shouldn't Miss

Are you fascinated by the light in Vendsyssel? Then visit Galleri Løkken. In one of the oldest houses John Kristensen has established a studio and exhibition. His oil paintings center on the atmosphere and light of the north, and that is why most of the painting is done outside - on location. In the gallery you will also see a series of paintings from 1982 to 2012 from the nearby Rubjerg Knude Fyr. Free entry - open all year.

The beautiful and unique 1200-sqaremeter building that houses the Art Center is located on the outskirts of Jyske Aas, a local area of national beauty. It was founded by electrical contractor Birger Jensen in 1977 in cooperation with architects from Junker and Flygel. This was a realization of a life-long dream of creating a modern center for art and culture. In 1985 the organization Tvind bought the building, but made little use of it. In 2001 members of the local community succeeded in raising four million kroner to buy back the place and run it as an art center, thus reviving Birger Jensen’s intention to hold at least five quality exhibitions a year. These exhibitions are very diverse, including all kinds of art and craft such as painting, sculpture, ceramics and glassware. It also hosts cultural activities such as the annual Marathon Singing on the year’s longest day.

During the 2. World War airplanes crashed in the marshes and you can learn more about them at the museum. The Museum also tells the story of the town Bronderslev.
