Degn Brøndum

[1] An avid art lover, Brøndum provided accommodation for many of the artists who came to spend the summer months in Skagen.

In addition to Michael Ancher, who married his sister Anna, the guests included P.S.

Krøyer, Christian Krogh, Carl Locher, Holger Drachmann, Agnes and Harald Slott-Møller, Georg Brandes, Thorvald Bindesbøll and Hugo Alfvén.

When the dining-room became too small to accommodate the increasing number of guests, Brøndum called upon Bindesbøll to design a larger room where the paintings could be hung on the paneling.

Degn Brøndum left the dining-room's paintings to Skagens Museum where it was transferred in 1946.
