Trapholt comprises the museum itself and its surrounding sculpture park which includes works by Ingvar Cronhammar, Bjørn Nørgaard, Lars Ravn, and Søren Jensen.

Totalling over 2,500 square metres, Trapholt is one of the largest modern art and design museums in Denmark outside Copenhagen.

[3] Arne Jacobsen's Kubeflex modular summer house, created by the architect in 1969-70, is located at Trapholt.

Until 2002 it was used as a private summer house by the Jacobsen family, but was moved from Sydsjælland to Trapholt in 2005 and opened to the public.

[4] In 2000, the museum gained international notability when artist Marco Evaristti exhibited his work Helena, an installation featuring ten functioning blenders each containing a live goldfish, allowing viewers to turn on and kill the fish.
