Room III

The building

Tidal Form III — verdigris bronze by Ingrid Halvorsen, under the oculus

Founded in 1963 around a private gift of ninety-four paintings, the museum grew room by room — never wings, always rooms. The 2011 extension by Atelier Brandt & Skou aligned every doorway on a single axis, so that from the hall you can see clear through to the garden. Architects call it an enfilade; the museum liked the idea enough to take its name from it: Sightline.
