Upcoming Exhibitions

Five men in suits and bow ties sit around a table with a white tablecloth and three lit candles in a dimly lit room. Each man has a glass in front of him, and one man raises his glass to his mouth. The men's faces are blurred, and the background is dark with windows where it is difficult to see details outside.

Vilhelm Hammershøi. Five Portraits, 1901-1902. Thielska Gallery.

Descendant

Curated by Lars von Trier

6 June 2026 – 20 September 2026

Willumsens Museum's first special exhibition after reopening in 2026 is curated by film director Lars von Trier. It gathers works by artists who have inspired Trier, charting the visual arsenal his films draw on. Trier himself has selected the artworks in the exhibition, which according to the director form the ‘family’ that has sustained and nourished his own work and without which he would not have been able to develop visually and artistically as he has. Key among them is Vilhelm Hammershøi’s monumental "Five Portraits". At the age of XNUMX Trier travelled to Stockholm solely to see the painting at the Thiel Gallery. The exhibition presents works by Paul Gauguin, Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Fredrik Hill, Per Kirkeby, Edvard Munch, Ejnar Nielsen, August Strindberg, Rudolph Tegner, Gustav Vigeland, Elisabeth Karlinsky, Hans Scherfig, Karl Madsen, Carl Holsøe, Svend and Vilhelm Hammershøi, J.F. Willumsen and Lars von Trier himself.
