Local tips
- If you’re navigating by address, note that some listings point to Nordre Strandvej 328 while the gallery is widely associated with Nordre Strandvej 340—double-check your map pin before you arrive.
- Combine the visit with a beach-and-harbour loop: the gallery works well as a windbreak stop between seaside walks, especially on blustery North Zealand days.
- Look beyond paintings—this gallery often includes sculpture, glass and jewellery, making it a good place to find smaller, packable pieces if you’re travelling light.
- If you’re serious about collecting, aim for a quieter weekday visit when you’re more likely to have time for a proper conversation about artists, materials and editions.

Getting There
-
Train + local walk
From Copenhagen, take a regional train toward Helsingør, then connect by local transport to Hornbæk. From Hornbæk station, it’s a straightforward walk or short taxi ride to Nordre Strandvej in the town center (typically 10–20 minutes on foot depending on the exact address). Expect standard Danish public-transport fares; late evenings can mean fewer connections.
-
Car
Driving from Copenhagen usually takes around 60–80 minutes depending on traffic. Hornbæk gets busy in summer and sunny weekends; parking can be limited near Nordre Strandvej, so budget extra time to circle for a spot or park slightly back from the main street.

A North Coast gallery with a point of view
Hornbæk has long been a summer magnet on North Zealand, and its main street (Nordre Strandvej) is where beach days, café life and browsing blend together. Here, Susanne Risom’s gallery presence reads as a purposeful counterbalance to the seaside buzz: contemporary art presented with a clear curatorial hand, in a setting that feels intimate rather than institutional.What you’ll actually see inside
This is not a single-medium space. Visitors can expect rotating exhibitions and a broad palette of contemporary work—painting, sculpture, glass and jewellery—often mixing established Danish names with emerging talent. The atmosphere is closer to a private viewing room than a white-cube museum: close enough to see surface, tool marks and glazing, and to notice how pieces speak to each other across the room.Why it fits Hornbæk
Hornbæk’s coastline and soft North Sea light have a way of sharpening attention—wind, sand and shifting skies make even a short walk feel sensory. The gallery is an easy add-on to a beach day or harbour stroll, offering an indoor pause that still feels connected to place: you step out of salt air, into ideas, and then back to the shore with fresh eyes.Best ways to weave it into your day
Pair a visit with a slow wander along Nordre Strandvej’s shops and cafés, then continue toward the beach paths for an easy loop. If you’re collecting small design objects as well as artworks, the jewellery and glass elements make this a particularly satisfying browse. Even if you’re not buying, it’s a strong snapshot of what contemporary art looks like on Denmark’s north coast—thoughtful, material-driven, and quietly confident.A note on the address
Listings sometimes point to Nordre Strandvej 328, but the gallery is commonly associated with premises on Hornbæk’s main street at Nordre Strandvej 340—worth confirming which door you’re aiming for before you set out.Explore the best of what Susanne Risom has to offer
