Top Museums: #2

#2 Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
Copenhagen, Denmark
Clearly, I like modern art and Copenhagen (3 of the top 5 museums).  This one takes the cake.  But what really took it over the top was an exhibit: Faith, Love, and Hope.  A Danish guy lived as a vagabond in America for a few decades.  While there, he documented his trip with pictures and stories.  He stayed with poor inner-city black couples to KKK leaders in Elkhart, IN.  To see a Dane's perspective in Denmark, surrounded by Danes...amazing.  And being the only American there, I kept being asked if this is what it's really like in America.  Never have I felt so ashamed, proud, and homesick all at once.  Moving experience.
The other, more permanent exhibits, were awesome, too.  Just a great modern art museum experience.

History: 4
Not much history in modern art.  But quite a bit of social history in the America exhibit.
Fun: 5
Modern art is fun.  Especially when you go with friends.
Touching: 4
The American stuff nearly brought me to tears.  Very moving stories.  And very moving because I'm American.

Niceness: 5
The minute I arrived, I felt like I was stepping into a 70s mansion owned by swingers.  That's supposed to be a complement.  It was a great mix of modern and 70s decoration.  Gorgeous surroundings, too.
Magnitude: 3
Not that big.
Information: 4
Permanent stuff, no.  American stuff, yes.  They give you a booklet to read while walking around.
Atmosphere: 5
I've said it once, and I'll say it again.  Modern art crowds are cool.  Mix that with the museum...it was just a really cool vibe.
"It" Factor: 2
Have any of you heard of it?  Its a diamond in the rough.
Language: 5
Scandinavia- everything's in English!
