J.F. Willumsens Museum is in Frederikssund, Denmark. The art museum is operated by Frederikssund Municipality. [1]

The art museum is dedicated to the works of the artist Jens Ferdinand Willumsen (1863–1958) and was opened in 1957. Jens Ferdinand Willumsen was a Danish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, architect and photographer who became associated with the movements of Symbolism and Expressionism. The museum contains a wide range of Willumsen's artworks, including paintings, sketches, graphics, ceramics, sculptures, photographs and architecture.[2] [3]

The museum was designed by the architect Tyge Hvass, and a new wing was opened in 2005, based upon designs by architect Theo Bjerg (1936-2019). The head of the museum from 1973-1990 and 1993-2006 was art historian mag. art. Leila Krogh (born 1943).[4]
