Sample Itinerary - Artsy Scandinavia: Stockholm, Oslo & Copenhagen (8 Nights / 9 Days)

Overview

A private art and design journey through the three Scandinavian capitals, where the museum is rarely only a museum but a work of architecture set in landscape. Three nights in Stockholm, spread across its islands, are followed by two in Oslo on its fjord, reached by a scenic train across Sweden, and three in Copenhagen, the design capital on the Øresund. The route threads together the institutions that have made the Nordic countries one of the most rewarding places in the world to look at art: Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the twisting Bjarke Ingels gallery of Kistefos above its river and the new National Museum in Oslo, and the seaside pavilions of Louisiana and the Zaha Hadid and Snøhetta wings of Ordrupgaard near Copenhagen, alongside the living design culture of Josef Frank, Finn Juhl, and Arne Jacobsen. Every transfer, guide, and admission is arranged on a private basis and tailored to the traveller's interests.

What Makes This Itinerary Special

The museum as architecture and landscape: Moderna Museet on its island, the Twist of Kistefos spanning its river, Louisiana's glass corridors above the Øresund, and the Hadid and Snøhetta wings of Ordrupgaard, buildings that are landmarks in their own right rather than passing photo stops.
The full Nordic aesthetic, city by city: the art islands of Stockholm, the new waterfront and sculpture parks of Oslo, and Danish design in Copenhagen, with the living traditions of Josef Frank, Finn Juhl, and Arne Jacobsen woven through the week.
