[5] At the anniversary of Asger Jorn's birthday, on March 3, 1982, Silkeborg Museum of Art moved to a newly built complex of buildings on an 8,000 m2 site near the river Gudenåen.

A modern Cobra Forum was designed so that visitors now can immerse themselves in the museum's extensive research material on and by Asger Jorn in electronic media and in books.

From the second half of the 20th century works of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Erik Ortvad, Frank Rubin, Paul Gernes, Per Kirkeby and Richard Winther are shown.

The Danish art is represented by Ejler Bille, Bjerke Petersen, Carl-Henning Pedersen, Egill Jacobsen, Henry Heerup and Wilhelm Freddie.

And from the 1950s: Enrico Baj, Jean Dubuffet, Pinot Gallizio, Wifredo Lam, Matta, Henri Michaux, Walasse Ting, Pierre Wemaëre and Group SPUR, among others.
