In 2021, The Nivaagaard Collection have undergone an ambitious climate renovation, and with the new sustainable geothermal heating, efficient ventilation ducts and skylights a new, green museum profil have been established. In this video, museum director Andrea Rygg Karberg and architect Kasper Bendsen give insight to the groundbreaking climate renovation and how it affects the museum in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Thanks to a large fund donation, The Nivaagaard Collection has in 2021 succeeded in designing an ambitious climate renovation that secures the museum\u2019s art collection for the future and incorporates sustainable solutions into a new green museum profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The climate renovation strengthen the framework for future art experiences at The Nivaagaard Collection and bring the museum into a new league. The improvements allow for optimal control of temperature and humidity in the exhibition halls, so that the museum secures the future of its unique art collection in the best possible way and at the same time is qualified to get works of art of the highest quality on loan.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The new skylights of the exhibition halls elevate the aesthetics and give the visitors the opportunity to view the paintings in the natural light in which they were created. Most of the museum\u2019s skylights have in recent years been permanently covered to prevent it from getting too hot and because the glass did not adjust the angles of light and brightness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The renovation is entirely supported by sustainable solutions in the form of new skylights that improve the properties of the building\u2019s exterior, LED lighting, efficient ventilation ducts and a geothermal heating system that complements the energy supply. It is ground-breaking that in an existing museum building, energy supply is being changed from fossil fuel to sustainable geothermal heating, which can both heat and cool the air in the exhibition halls.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new technical installations are assembled in a new technical house in extension of the museum\u2019s Column Hall to the north. The extension gives extra square meters at the museum for an expanded cloakroom, much-needed storage space and a new office.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is thanks to generous donations from four of the country\u2019s largest foundations that the climate renovation is now being realized: Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen\u2019s Foundation, VILLUM FOUNDATION, Augustinus Foundation and A.P. M\u00f8ller og Hustru Chastine McKinney M\u00f8llers Fond til almene Formaal have together donated DKK 35 million for the renovation project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ABOUT THE COLLECTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The Nivaagaard Collection was established by the landowner and politician Johannes Hage. The current museum building was built in several stages in 1903, 1988 and 1992. Since 2016, the museum has been working on the preparations for the climate renovation project that is now being realized.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s art collection consists of almost 250 works spread across 500 years of art history with significant works of art from the Italian Renaissance, the Dutch Baroque and the Danish Golden Age. The works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods make the collection unique, because The Nivaagaard Collection, in addition to the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark), is the only place in the country where you can view a larger collection of older European art.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
