Mads Rasmussen
as a monument

Canning factory owner Mads Rasmussen (1856-1916) established the Faaborg Museum in 1910. The museum building was opened in 1915. Today the founder is still very present in his museum because of the works of art which his artist friends created in honour of their benefactor.

Art Collection

Mads Rasmussen bought plenty of the Funenites' pictures for the new museum.

"What must be bought, shall be bought. First we must see that the museum is as good as possible and afterwards how we can arrange the financial matters."
