Esbjerg Art Museum

Commanding an excellent position near the Water Tower overlooking the harbour, the complex consists of a low permanent art gallery wing to the north and a two-storey exhibition area to the south.

After the music conservatory moved into new premises in 1974, the museum gained additional space for the municipal collection which was extended with many important new works.

The complex adopts a simple, refined style which takes advantage of the sloping ground with floors at various levels and a number of balconies.

In 1997, it was connected to the newly completed Esbjerg Performing Arts Centre by means of an extensive foyer serving both institutions.

The sculpture exhibition includes works by Jørgen Haugen Sørensen, Svend Wiig Hansen and Thomas Bang.
