The great Danish writer Karen Blixen first achieved fame in America and eventually throughout most of the world. She spent the greater part of her life in Rungstedlund, where she was born in 1885 and died in 1962. For seventeen years she lived on a coffee farm in Kenya. When the mother died in 1939, Karen Blixen became mistress of the house 'Rundstedlund' and could renovate the home according to her own taste. It was here that she wrote, both in English and Danish, not only the book that became her first major success "Seven Gothic Tales", but also her other books inclucing "Out of Africa" - of which the Oscar-winning film version released in 1985 reached an international audience - as well as her collections of stories "Winter's Tales" and " Last Tales". The main entrance to the Karen Blixen Museum is situated in the original west wing where the coach house, stable and hay loft used to be. The architect who was responsible for the restoration of the building was professor Vilhelm Wohlert and the redesigning allowed for a book stall, café, display centre and library section with audio-visual facilities for listening to the entrancing voice of Karen Blixen and watching slides recalling scenes from her years in Africa. To this days the north wing rooms remain unchanged as in her time, always graced with vases containing freshly cut flowers. This north wing of Rundstedlund is also open to the public and here visitors find a small gallery with exhibits in oil, pastel and charcoal - all works by Karen Blixen.
