The museum building is a smaller, neoclassical museum building from 1920 on Kastelsvej in Copenhagen. The building was erected according to drawings by Einar Madvig and Poul Methling for shipowner and Consul General Johan Hansen's large collection of visual arts. In the 1960s, the building was used as a magazine for the State Museum of Art. From 1997 to 2006, it named an auction house that conveyed the sale of older and modern visual arts, crafts and designs, furniture, books and more. From 2006 to 2008, the company was run by the Internet Auction House Lauritz.com. In 2013, the building was taken over by Banja Rathnov Gallery and Kunsthandel, which sold art from the address until 2018. In 2018, Studio Oliver Gustav moved into the building.
