History

Ribe Kunstmuseum was inaugurated in 1891. The museum is located in a villa which was formerly the private residence of factory owner Balthazar Giørtz (1827–1891). The villa built between 1860–1864 after drawings made by the architect and royal surveyor Laurits Albert Winstrup (1815–1889).[2][3]

The museum's main building and the octagonal gazebo together with the garden and front yard were restored and partially modernized during the years 2009–2010. The newly renovated museum was inaugurated November 26, 2010.

Collection

The collections show the main line of Danish pictorial art from c. 1750 to 1940 including masterpieces by

gollark: Besides, realistically, you only get one shot at killing someone *at most*, and do you really want to use it (try to) on *me*?
gollark: No, I mean that that makes it quite hard for you to go around murdering me, as well as the other reasons.
gollark: See, society is mostly set up to *prevent* arbitrary murdering.
gollark: This is unlikely.
