It is the most visited art museum in Denmark, and has an extensive permanent collection of modern and contemporary art, dating from World War II to the present day; in addition, it has a comprehensive programme of special exhibitions. The museum is also acknowledged as a milestone in modern Danish architecture, and is noted for its synthesis of art, architecture, and landscape, such as was showcased in an installation entitled "Riverbed" shown in 2014–2015. It has been called a "Danish beacon in the international art world." The museum occasionally also stages exhibitions of work by the great impressionists and expressionists, such as Claude Monet, who was the focus of a major exhibition in 1994. It has between 600,000–700,000 visitors per year, 17–33% of whom reside in nearby Sweden.

The museum is included in the Patricia Schultz book ''1,000 Places to See Before You Die'' and ranks 85th on a list of most visited art museums (2011). In late November 2012, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art launched Louisiana Channel, a web-TV channel contributing to the development of the museum as a cultural platform. In 2013, the museum's music department launched Louisiana Music, a web page dedicated to musical videos produced by the museum in collaboration with world-famous musicians. Provided by Wikipedia
