One of the first Danish sculptors to discover concrete, Rudolph Tegner (1873–1950) used the wild heathland midway between Gilleleje and Hornbæk as a backdrop for his monumental sculptures, made of plaster, clay, bronze and marble. This museum now displays more than 250 of Tegner’s pieces, while the surrounding grounds showcase 14 of his monumental bronze sculptures. The museum also functions as a mausoleum – Tegner is buried in a chamber in the heart of the building. From Gilleleje, bus 362 reaches Museumsvej.
