Friday February 12, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark visited the town of Skagen. This art enthusiast was delighted to inaugurate the renovated and expanded museum, presenting the works of the pictorial school once born in these places.

With only 258 kilometers from Copenhagen to Skagen, the road ride is two times greater distance because of the Danish geography. But Her Majesty had a preference for the helicopter to reach this town on the northern tip of Jutland. In this cold winter day as emphasized by the local media, the Queen of Denmark had opted for its small garnet jacket and matching hat with feathers, she coordinated a pull exactly the same tone and his plaid skirt white and garnet.

An art devotee, had traveled to inaugurate the new museum of Skagen. Created in 1908 in the dining room of a hotel, moved to a building specially built twenty years later, it demonstrates the liveliness of the pictorial school called "School of Skagen." This qualifies artists who lived and worked in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in this county, at the time a small fishing village.
