Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it (Bernard Meltzer), and this presentation is like happiness. You must share it to enjoy it, because Love is a universal theme celebrated in art since the beginning of time

Hendrik Christian Andersen (1872 - 1940) was a Norwegian-American sculptor, painter and urban planner
Housed in a gorgeous pink (!) palazzo, this was the studio and home of Hendrik Christian Andersen (1872-1940) sculptor who came to Europe in 1893, eventually making Rome his home. His collection of monumental, Neo-classical sculpture was left to the Italian Government on his death, and his home was turned into this lovely (and free!) museum.

Hendrik Christian Andersen Museum is established in the neo-Renaissance villa, Villa Helene, that he designed and constructed in Via Mancini in the 1920s. He bequeathed it, and its contents, to the Italian state at his death in 1940. The collection - over two hundred sculptures of various sizes and media, more than two hundred paintings, and some three hundred graphic works - centres around Andersen's utopian concept of a great 'World City', destined to be the international headquarters of a laboratory of artistic, scientific, philosophical, religious and cultural ideas
The rooms on the ground floor display works by the artist that were planned to be exhibited at the The World Centre of Communication. This was a project designed by the artist Hendrik Andersen and architect Ernest Hébrard between 1901 and 1911. The purpose of the Centre was to gather all the best intellectual products of mankind in both scientific an artistic fields (the project was never realized)
