Øregård Museum

Pictures of Copenhagen and the country north of the city make up the core of Øregård Museum's collection. It is a topographic collection, meaning the works record real places as artists saw them, which suits visitors curious about how the capital and its northern surroundings were depicted. Alongside the collection, the museum hosts special exhibitions.

The museum, owned by Gentofte Municipality and founded in 1921, occupies a former country house in Hellerup, on Copenhagen's northern outskirts. The architect Joseph-Jacques Ramée designed the house, and it is now a protected monument on the Danish heritage register. It was built for Johannes Søbøtker, a merchant and planter who took part in the triangular trade and the Atlantic slave trade in the Danish West Indies.
