Korntørringsmagasinet

Krøyers Atelier

Det gamle Korntørringsmagasin er et lille hvidkaldet hus, der blev opført af den velhavende møllebygger Søren Møller (Anna Anchers morfar) i 1850. Det er et bindingsværkshus med et pyramideformet tegltag og det ligger halvt indgravet i en sandbanke. Oprindeligt fungerede huset som korntørringsmagasin, og det blev blandt andet brugt til tørring af det korn og den kaffe, der havnede som strandingsgods i Skagen.

I sommeren 1884 indrettede malerne P. S. Krøyer og Oscar Björck korntørringsmagasinet som atelier. Bygningen blev fredet i 1971 og blev i 1990 indrettet som café. (...)

I 1919 skænkede familierne Brøndum og Ancher haven inklusive Havehuset og det gamle korntørringsmagasin til Skagens Museum, og i 1926 blev haven udvidet med en tilstødende grund.

På denne grund blev Skagens Museum opført i 1926-28 og haven ændrede navn til Skagens Museums Have.

Krøyer's studio

P.S. Krøyer’s first studio in Skagen is a small whitewashed house, which was built by the wealthy millwright Søren Møller (Anna Ancher’s maternal grandfather) in 1850.

The house is a half-timbered house with a pyramidal tiled roof, and lies half-enclosed in a sand bank. Originally, the house functioned as a grain warehouse, and was among other things used for drying the grain and coffee that ended up as jetsam in Skagen.

In the summer of 1884, the artists P.S. Krøyer and Oscar Björck refurbished the grain warehouse as a studio. Björck took out the equipments and decorated the studio with frescos.

A north-facing window was put in the roof of the house. The new studio was inaugurated with a party on the 2nd July the same year. In 1943, the two best-preserved frescos were transferred to canvas and exhibited in the museum and later at Brøndum’s Hotel. The frescos burned along with part of the hotel in a fire in 1959, but one of them can still be seen in the background of Michael Ancher’s work Art critics. Study from 1906.

The building was listed in 1971, and in 1990 it was turned into a café. In 2009, the café was moved to the Garden House.

Today the old grain warehouse forms the framework for the digital exhibition of P.S. Krøyer’s famous painting Hip, hip, hurray! from 1888 (The Gothenburg Museum of Art), which he painted on in this very studio.
