The Danish Golden Age and the Modern Breakthrough

For upper-secondary schools, HF and adult education centres

The Hirschsprung Collection offers a unique opportunity to compare the idealised art of the Danish Golden Age with the social-realist subjects of the Modern Breakthrough. This learning programme takes students on a journey through a century of Danish art, exploring the significant and fascinating developments that shaped both art and society during the 19th century.
