Museum Jorn
The Museum Jorn in Silkeborg is located in beautiful nature directly on the river Gudenåen. The museum was founded by Asger Jorn (1914-1973), one of the most important Danish artists of the 20th century.
Jorn was a spontaneously abstract painter, sculptor and author and co-founder of the international avant-garde movements CoBrA and Situationist International.
