“1000 Masterpieces from the Great Museums of the World” is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented – the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting.

Since then the Skagens Museum presents a large collection of naturalistic, realistic and impressionistic works by internationally renowned artists such as Johansen, Krohg, Krøyer and Ancher.
