We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the space of smooth functions with compact supports C^∞C(Ω) to be dense in Musielak-Orlicz spaces LΦ(Ω) where Ω is an open subset of ℝd. In particular we prove that if Φ satisfies condition Δ2, the closure of C^∞C(Ω)∩ LΦ(Ω) is equal to LΦ(Ω) if and only if the measure of singular points of Φ is equal to zero. This extends the earlier density theorems proved under the assumption of local integrability of Φ, which implies that the measure of the singular points of Φ is zero. As a corollary we obtain analogous results for Musielak-Orlicz spaces generated by double phase functional and we recover the well known result for variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.
