Inside

What to see at Munkeruphus

Contemporary art and design in a former private house above the beach in North Zealand, with the Kattegat immediately below it. An hour covers it.

Highlight 1
A house rather than a gallery

Munkeruphus was somebody’s seaside home before it was an exhibition space, and it still reads like one. Work is shown in rooms rather than halls, which suits the scale of what is usually on.

Highlight 2
The programme

Contemporary art, craft and design, changing through the year with no permanent collection. What is on when you visit is the entire visit, so the programme is worth checking rather than skimming.

Highlight 3
The coast it stands on

The garden runs down towards Munkerup Strand and the sea beyond it. In summer this is as much a reason to make the journey as the exhibition is.

Before you visit

Read before you go

This is the one venue on the card where checking before you leave matters more than anything else on the page. Confirmed against munkeruphus.dk and the 2026 Copenhagen museums folder.

The hours vary, and the Monday rule is unconfirmed
  • Munkeruphus does not keep fixed opening hours. They change with the exhibition programme rather than following a weekly pattern.
  • The 2026 museums folder does not state a Monday rule, and we have not been able to establish one — which is why there is no Mondays figure in the bar above rather than a guess.
  • Check munkeruphus.dk on the day. This is an hour by train plus a two-kilometre walk, and it is the longest journey on the card to a locked door.
What it costs, and who pays less
  • Adult admission is €12 (90 DKK) without a card.
  • Seniors pay 70 DKK, students 50 DKK, and under-18s are free. Groups of eight or more pay 70 DKK each.
  • Munkerup Strandvej 78, above the beach.
Pair it with the Tegner museum
  • The Rudolph Tegner Museum is a short distance along the same road, with a statue park that is free and open all year.
  • Kronborg is on the way at Helsingør, which makes a full day out of what would otherwise be a long trip for one small gallery.
  • Two or three venues is what makes this journey proportionate — see how far the Discover card takes you in a day.
Getting there

How to get to Munkeruphus

The North Zealand coast at Dronningmølle, about an hour from Copenhagen. The whole journey is on the Discover card.

Copenhagen Card
Discover card
✓ Train to Dronningmølle, roughly an hour with a change at Helsingør. Covered.
✓ Then about 2 km on foot to the coast, or bus 362 — also covered.
✓ Helsingør is on the route, so Kronborg fits into the same journey.
✓ From the airport — train to Copenhagen Central, then north. All covered on Discover.
Copenhagen Card
Hop card
✗ Munkeruphus is not included on the Hop card — neither the entry nor the journey.
✗ The hop-on hop-off routes stay inside Copenhagen.
✗ Discover is the only card that reaches this coast.
The North Zealand coast
  • The Rudolph Tegner Museum is close by on the heath, and its statue park is free all year.
  • Kronborg is at Helsingør on the way, guarding the narrowest point of the Øresund.
  • Louisiana is further down the coast towards Copenhagen, and open late Tuesday to Friday.

Common questions

Munkeruphus — card FAQ

Is Munkeruphus included with the Copenhagen Card?

Entry is free on the Copenhagen Card Discover, which also covers the train and bus to Dronningmølle. Adult admission without a card is €12 (90 DKK); students pay 50 DKK and under-18s are free. The Hop card does not include it.

Is Munkeruphus open on Mondays?

Munkeruphus does not keep fixed opening hours — they follow the exhibition programme — and the 2026 museums folder states no Monday rule. We have not been able to confirm one, so check munkeruphus.dk before travelling rather than relying on this page.

Do I need to book Munkeruphus 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 train and bus 362 are both covered on the same card, so nothing needs buying at either end.

Can I visit Munkeruphus twice on the same Copenhagen Card?

One scan per attraction applies, so this is a single visit per card. At an hour each way plus a two-kilometre walk it is usually paired with the Rudolph Tegner Museum nearby rather than made a trip on its own.

How do I get into Munkeruphus 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.
