Towards the end of the 19th century, Skagen became the summer venue of a group of artists who were attracted by the way of life in the fishing village and by the opportunities for painting the fishermen and surrounding landscapes.{{sfn|Ancher|Ancher|Sandby|Agerholm|2000|p=np}} Skagens Museum was founded on 20 October 1908 in the dining room at Brøndums Hotel. Among the founders were artists Michael Ancher, P.S. Krøyer and Laurits Tuxen, who were elected to form the first board of governors together with Victor Christian Klæbel, the local pharmacist, and [[Degn Brøndum]], who was the proprietor of Brøndums Hotel and brother of Anna Ancher. In 1982, the exhibition rooms were extended with an annex designed by the Royal Surveyor, architect Jacob Blegvad. Blegvad also planned the later extension to the museum that was inaugurated in 1989.{{sfn|Ancher|Ancher|Sandby|Agerholm|2000|p=np}} Today Skagens Museum has more than 1,900 works of art at its disposal.<ref>[http://www.skagensmuseum.dk/ "Skagens Museum"].
