The Card

What the Copenhagen Card covers at the Hirschsprung Collection

The Discover card covers full entry. The Hop card is a separate question, and an open one.

Inside

What to see at the Hirschsprung Collection

One man's collection of nineteenth-century Danish painting, in a small neoclassical building he had built for it in Østre Anlæg. An hour is enough, and that is the point.

Highlight 1
A collection with an argument

Heinrich Hirschsprung bought Danish art of his own century, and the gallery hangs it as a coherent case rather than a survey. After the scale of SMK next door, a museum you can see properly in an hour is a relief.

Highlight 2
The Skagen painters

The artists who went north to paint the light at Skagen are well represented here, and it is one of the better places in Copenhagen to see why they mattered to Danish painting.

Highlight 3
The building and the park

Purpose-built, single-storey and set in Østre Anlæg, with the park doing the work an atrium would elsewhere. It is a short walk from SMK through the same green space.

Before you visit

Read before you go

One coverage question here is settled and one is not. Confirmed against hirschsprung.dk and the 2026 Copenhagen museums folder.

Discover is confirmed. Hop is unresolved.
  • The Discover card covers full entry. That is established and it is what the bar above states.
  • Whether the Hop card covers it has not been established. The gallery is in Østre Anlæg, minutes from SMK — the day-trip logic that keeps Louisiana and Kronborg off the Hop card does not apply here. But it is not named in any published Hop attraction list either.
  • So this page does not claim it in either direction. If you hold a Hop card, ask at the desk rather than assuming exclusion from silence.
Closed Mondays, late on one Thursday a month
  • Closed every Monday. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. For the Monday alternatives, see what stays open that day.
  • The last Thursday of each month it stays open to 8pm — the only late opening here, and worth timing a visit around.
  • Adult admission is €15 (110 DKK) without a card; under-26s pay 80 DKK and under-18s are free.
Pair it with SMK, not against it
  • SMK is a walk across the same park, and the two are the obvious pairing — the national collection and then one man’s version of the same century.
  • Rosenborg is a few minutes further, which makes three card venues in one walk.
  • That clustering is what decides how many days of card to buy more than any single admission price does.
Getting there

How to get to the Hirschsprung Collection

Stockholmsgade, in Østre Anlæg, between Østerport and Nørreport. Ten minutes on foot from either.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Østerport station — S-trains and regional trains — then about ten minutes through the park. Covered.
✓ Or Nørreport, a similar walk from the other direction, and also covered.
✓ Buses along Sølvgade and Øster Voldgade stop close by, and are covered.
✓ From the airport — the train to Østerport direct, roughly 20 minutes. Covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
? Whether the Hop card covers entry here is not confirmed. The gallery is not named in any published Hop list, which is not the same as being excluded from one — ask at the desk if you hold a Hop card.
✓ The hop-on hop-off bus stops near Østerport, within walking distance.
✗ Trains and city buses are not on the Hop card, so getting here from the airport is a separate ticket.
Østre Anlæg in one afternoon
  • SMK is a few minutes across the park — the national collection, and a much bigger building.
  • Rosenborg Castle is beyond it in the King’s Garden, with the crown jewels in the basement.
  • The Natural History Museum is on the same side of town and works better with children than either.

Common questions

The Hirschsprung Collection — card FAQ

Is The Hirschsprung Collection included with the Copenhagen Card?

The Discover card covers full entry to the collection. Adult admission without a card is €15 (110 DKK); under-26s pay 80 DKK and under-18s are free. Whether the Hop card covers it has not been established either way — ask at the desk if you hold one.

Is The Hirschsprung Collection open on Mondays?

The Hirschsprung Collection closes every Monday and opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm. The last Thursday of each month it stays open until 8pm, which is the only late opening it runs. SMK next door keeps the same Monday closure.

Do I need to book The Hirschsprung Collection in advance with the Copenhagen Card?

Nothing needs booking. Show the QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the desk and walk in. The gallery is small enough that queues are rare even in summer.

Can I visit The Hirschsprung Collection twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. SMK across the park counts as its own attraction and its own scan, which makes the two a natural pairing on the same afternoon rather than a reason to return.

How do I get into The Hirschsprung Collection with the Copenhagen Card?

Show the live QR code in the Copenhagen Card app at the entrance and let staff scan it. Your booking confirmation email is not your card, and a screenshot of the QR code will not scan — it has to be the app itself, which works offline once activated.
