Top 5 Art Museums in Skagen, Jutland
A large, busy harbor doesn’t dampen the charm of Skagen’s older neighborhoods, which offer distinctive yellow houses, great museums, ceramic and glass art galleries, and bike rental outlets. Harbourside restaurants serve fish fresh off the boats. If you’re used to Caribbean beaches, this will take some getting used to, but we bet Skagen’s craggy charms will win you over.

We visited the Skagens Museum during a Viking cruise excursion and learned so much about the artists and history of the area while listening to the guide describe the beautiful works of art. Summer evening on Skagen Sanderstrand, 1893, was my favorite painting.
