Local tips

Plan at least two hours so you can combine the galleries with a walk around Fuglsang Manor’s park and the surrounding fields.
Bring a light jacket: the flat Lolland landscape can be windy and cool, even on bright days, especially if you explore outdoors after your visit.
Check current exhibitions and any evening openings in advance if you are interested in specific artists or would like to experience the museum in softer twilight.
If accessibility is important, ask at the entrance about wheelchairs or walkers the museum can lend to visitors.
Combine your visit with other sights on Lolland–Falster to make a relaxed cultural day trip, allowing time for the on-site café between activities.

Getting There

Car from Nykøbing Falster

From Nykøbing Falster, reaching Fuglsang Kunstmuseum by car typically takes about 15–20 minutes, using main regional roads across Lolland. The route is straightforward and mostly on paved two-lane roads through open countryside. Parking is available by the museum and usually free, but spaces can fill up on busy days with group visits or events.
Car from Copenhagen via bridges

From Copenhagen, allow around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours by car, travelling via the E47 motorway over Sjælland and Falster before continuing onto Lolland. Tolls apply on certain bridges and fuel costs add to the expense, so budget in the range of DKK 250–450 in total for a return trip depending on vehicle and prices. Once on Lolland, the final stretch crosses mainly rural roads before you arrive at the museum’s parking area.
Train and taxi from Copenhagen

Another option is to take an intercity or regional train from Copenhagen to Nykøbing Falster, usually 1½–2 hours depending on service, with standard adult fares commonly in the DKK 150–280 range each way. From Nykøbing Falster station, you can continue by local taxi to Fuglsang Kunstmuseum in about 15–20 minutes. Taxi prices vary with company and time of day, but the one-way fare is typically around DKK 250–350.
Cycling from nearby towns

If you are staying in the surrounding area on Lolland–Falster, reaching the museum by bicycle can be an enjoyable option in good weather. From smaller towns and villages within roughly 10–20 km, expect a ride of 30–75 minutes each way, mainly on flat rural roads with limited shade and exposure to wind. Surfaces are generally good, but there may be sections without dedicated cycle paths, so this option suits confident cyclists comfortable sharing the road with light traffic.

A contemporary museum on a historic estate

Fuglsang Kunstmuseum sits on the grounds of Fuglsang Manor, surrounded by open farmland on south-eastern Lolland. The museum building itself is a low, elongated structure of pale brick and glass, designed to blend into the flat landscape rather than dominate it. Approaching it, you sense more of a sculpted pavilion than a traditional museum, with clean lines, sheltered courtyards and long views pulling the horizon indoors. Step through the entrance and you move into a calm, uncluttered world of generous corridors and carefully proportioned rooms. Natural light is a defining feature here; skylights and tall windows are tuned to Denmark’s often soft, shifting daylight, giving artworks a gentle, even glow. The spacious foyer opens toward the museum shop and café, forming a relaxed social hub before you branch off into the main collection.

Danish art from golden age to modern experiments

The core collection focuses on Danish art from around the late 18th century up to contemporary pieces, giving a broad sweep of national art history under one roof. Landscapes play a particularly strong role: paintings that capture the low skies, coastal light and agricultural life of Denmark feel especially at home in this rural setting. Portraits, interiors and more experimental modern works round out the picture, showing shifting ideas about identity, society and form across two centuries. Temporary exhibitions bring in new perspectives, sometimes highlighting overlooked artists, sometimes staging thematic shows that connect past and present. Installations, photography and newer media appear alongside more traditional painting and sculpture, so even repeat visitors tend to find something unexpected. Interpretive texts are concise and informative, making it easy to follow the artistic developments even if you are not familiar with Danish art.

Architecture that frames the landscape

One of the museum’s signature features is the way its architecture actively frames the surrounding countryside. Long internal vistas end in picture windows that open onto fields, grazing animals and the distant shoreline. A famous end gallery culminates in a trio of seats facing a large window, almost like a living painting of the landscape outside. Sitting here, you sense how the building is designed as a viewing instrument as much as a container for art. Materials inside are kept restrained and tactile: pale walls, smooth floors and a subtle acoustic dampening that keeps the atmosphere hushed without feeling formal. This quiet simplicity gives artworks and views equal importance. Even transitions between galleries are carefully staged; turning a corner, you may suddenly catch a glimpse of water or a shifting band of sky that reorients you beyond the museum walls.

Between gallery rooms and manor park

Stepping back outside, the experience naturally extends into the grounds of Fuglsang Manor. Paths lead toward the historic park with its old trees, small lakes and views toward the Guldborgsund strait. The contrast between curated interiors and the loose, slightly windswept landscape is part of the appeal: you might spend an hour with canvases of Danish fields and then walk straight into the real thing. The surrounding area remains largely agricultural, so the sense of space is striking if you’ve arrived from a city. Birds call across the fields, and in cooler months the wind can sweep across the flat terrain with some force, adding a raw edge to an otherwise gentle setting. On calmer days, the estate feels almost meditative, encouraging slow walks and quiet pauses.

A welcoming, accessible cultural escape

Despite its rural location, Fuglsang Kunstmuseum is set up as a comfortable, inclusive cultural stop. The building is level-access throughout, with an accessible toilet and mobility aids available to borrow. Clear signage, a friendly foyer area and a human-scale layout make it easy to navigate, whether you are here for a focused art visit, a family outing or a short cultural break on a wider Lolland–Falster trip. Many visitors pair time in the galleries with a visit to the on-site café, which looks out toward the landscape, or with longer walks around the estate and nearby coastline. With its thoughtful architecture, strong art collection and quietly dramatic surroundings, the museum feels both distinctly Danish and pleasantly out of the way—an ideal place to slow down, look closely and let art and landscape echo each other.
