Works by impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne are all found in the museum. Post-impressionists such as van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Bonnard are also represented.
The building housing the collections is often praised in its own right for its elegance, including a sub-tropical winter garden at its centre. It is located across the street from the famous Tivoli Gardens at Dantes Plads 7, 1556 København V.
