Vejen Art Museum

It specializes in works from the end of the 19th century in styles including Symbolism and Art Nouveau.

Created in 1924 to house the works of sculptor and ceramist Niels Hansen Jacobsen (1861–1941), it also displays works by Einar August Nielsen (1872–1956) Jens Lund (1871–1924), Thorvald Bindesbøll (1846–1908), Harald Slott-Møller (1864-1937), Ingrid Vang Nyman (1916-1956) and many others.

The original museum building was designed by the local builder, Niels Ebbesen Grue (1879-1937).

[1][2] Niels Hansen Jacobsen was most noted for creating the once controversial sculpture, Trold, der vejrer kristenblod.

In 1923, a copy of the bronze sculpture was erected in front of the Vejen Art Museum.
