Gudhjem Museum – Art and Culture

Visit the interesting museum, which both shows varying art exhibitions and also has a permanent localhistory exhibition.

Gudhjem Museum
consists of both the old Gudhjem Station and a new exhibition building.

The old station building
was drawn by the architects Kay Fisker and Aage Rafn. The building was inaugurated in 1916 and had a function as endstation for the Gudhjem railway until this was closed in 1953. The station building, which is protected, is an architectonic pearl, in itself worth a visit.

The station building harbours several permanent exhibitions:

  • “Trade and Crafts in Brøddegade from 1890 to 1990” is a new photo exhibition, nicely showing the main street of Gudhjem in former times.

  • The Gudhjem railroad – in the old package room and waiting room you can experience the history of the local railroad.

  • Exhibition of local history – you find on the second floor of the station building. Here are photos, documents and things from former times in Gudhjem.

  • Oluf Høst sketch collection – you visit the large museum collection on the second floor.

The new exhibition building
drawn by architect Niels Frithiof Truelsen, is the perfect location for art exhibitions and other arrangements. During one season we will show approx. 10 different changing exhibitions. See the exhibition program on the museum website.

A permanent element during many years has been the exhibition of the artist collaboration Holkahesten, which in 2020 will exhibit for the 19th time.

Skulpture park
In the area around the museum you can see sculptures by Ole Christensen, Inge Lise Westman, Jun-Ichi Inoue and Julie Høm.

Museum shop
Large selection of postcards, posters, and many interesting books with relation to life in and around Gudhjem. Both historical books and artbooks.

Localhistory archive
