This, together with good opportunities for peace, freedom, fresh air and plenty of room to exercise their creativity, may explain why Denmark's best contemporary artists and craftsmen have settled in this region.
Therefore, you will find a wealth of galleries and workshops in North Denmark which sell ceramics, glass art, candles, amber, paintings and watercolours, antiques, textiles, knitwear and silver and gold jewellery.
All in all, North Jutland offers so many cultural experiences that is it impossible to mention them all here, but we would, however, like to recommend a few:
- Northern Jutland's Art Museum in Aalborg, featuring a large collection of
Danish and international 20th century art. The museum arranges
exhibitions with contemporary artists
- Heltborg Museum in Thy, with Jens Søndergaard's impressionist paintings
on display
- Thit Jensen's Museum in Farsø and Jeppe Aakjær's home "Jenle" in
Salling are only two of several preserved homes of writers and poets in
Central and Northern Jutland
- Churches with frescos from the Roman and Gothic times, for instance
Dronninglund Chapel and Børglum Monastery
- Skagen Museum and Anna and Michael Ancher's house, featuring
collections of the Skagen painters' works
