Set in a beautiful park overooking across the Kolding Fjord in the southern Danish Syddanmark Region, the Trapholt Museum of art, design and handicraft presents a splendid art exhibition this autumn under the title Love at first sight. The exhibition, which runs through February 28, 2010, features works from the famed German Würth collection, making a stroll through 20th century international modern art. From impressionism to expressionism, surrealism, op art and pop art, meet the likes of great names in European and American art: Munch, Baselitz, Magritte, Pissarro, Kiefer, Lichtenstein, Kapoor, Warhol and many others.
As the 20th century progressed, the great technical advances and social changes made their own indelible marks on art. The world changed radically and rapidly in the 1900s –as did art. The exhibited pieces are all on loan from Sammlung Würth, which is Reinhold Würth’s collection of modern art –one of the world’s largest private art collections from this 
period. It was with love and feeling that the collector assembled these works. Which explains the exhibition’s title: Love at first sight.
The exhibition is accompanied by a series of talks during the autumn, all examining the 20th century from different perspectives. On November 11, two of the speakers, Medical Anthropologist Andreas Roepstorff and Museum Curator Anni Nørskov Mørch, present their views on how art affects the brain and conversely how the brain influences art. The topic is The brain in art.
Trapholt Museum was inaugurated in 1988 in Kolding, a charming seaport of more than 86,000 inhabitants and one of Denmark’s friendliest towns –large city and small village rolled into one. Trapholt has a large collection of Danish furniture design. A visit to Trapholt is an enjoyable experience, as the museum makes a constant effort to develop new events which will be of interest to adults, children and families. Museum guides are there to welcome visitors and help them plan their visit. On offer are guided mini tours with an introduction to the museum, to Arne Jacobsen’s summer cottage, and the current exhibitions. There’s always a varied range of options for children and their accompanying adults.
