Niels Wessel Bagge Art Foundation

The Niels Wessel Bagge Art Foundation (Danish: Niels Wessel Bagges Kunstfond) is a non-profit organization founded by the Danish dancer, scenographer and art collector Niels Wessel Bagge. Items from Bagge's own art and crafts collection are now on display in four Danish art museums. Each year, the foundation awards five to 10 grants to Danish artists.
