"Fuglsang Kunstmuseum is a purpose built museum housing a permanent collection of Danish fine art dating from the period 1780-1980. Located in Fuglsang Lolland, Southern Denmark, the building has the formal abstractness and romantic profile of neighbouring buildings and is designed to harmonise with the idyllic rural setting of the Fuglsang estate. To go to Fuglsang entails a long journey through open countryside, finally arriving on a long straight road through a loose assembly of buildings to a courtyard at the heart of the Estate. The Museum extends into the fields while having a strange axial but offset relation to the most significant of the existing buildings, the Manor House and its formal surroundings. Like the buildings around the courtyard, and many classic works of Danish modernism, the facades of the Museum are constructed from brick. As in the barn on the west side of the court, they are painted white and the roof lights are in a grey brick the colour of the roofs of the buildings around it."-[Tony Fretton Architects]
