Art, culture and exciting events

Painter's yard

One of the few well-preserved, authentic artists 'homes in Denmark and the Swane family's home from 1934. Here you can experience the Swans' paintings in the right context. The painter Sigurd Swane (1879-1973) together with his wife Agnete (1893-1994) created Malergården. The house is built according to Agnete's specific instructions.

Note: Malergården is located at the end of a narrow, one-way gravel road, so drive slowly, use the turning areas and watch out for the deep ditches.

The museum is open all year round and has both a café and a museum shop.

You can experience that

Malergården is a museum for the whole family. Here you get an insight into the history of a different family. A family that moved to the countryside to create a small agricultural paradise with space for art and guests. You enter an authentic artist's home, where the light and the smell in the living rooms are the same as when the family lived here. The house stands largely as it was built in 1934.

You can visit the studio, the beautiful living rooms and the Art School in the side wing, where you can create your own works with free drawing materials.

The farm is surrounded by a garden with dahlia beds, boxwood hedges, apple groves and a lookout point. Here are rolling meadows bordering the Lammefjord.

Shop and café

Books, posters, art and toys – our store is full of the season's most inviting goods! You'll find all kinds of books about art, animals and plants and even delicious cookbooks that guide you through the seasonal produce in the garden.

We also have glass and ceramic crafts and even treats in the form of caramels and chocolate.

We always have a wide selection of toys for children, both for outdoor play and for indoor immersion and creative expression. 

The café offers light lunch dishes, cake, ice cream, coffee and refreshing drinks - and you can choose to sit inside the café or sit outside in our cozy courtyard and enjoy a quiet break.

The painter's main house renovated

The painter's main house was renovated in 2022 with support from Odsherreds Municipality and LAG-Midt-Nordvestsjælland. This made it possible to secure the bays and roof, and expand Malergården to be open all year round. In the same year, funds from the Augustinus Foundation and the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation made it possible to review, stabilize and conserve the furnishings and art from the main house.
