 The Newest Museum of Modern Art |
Skovvej 100 Copenhagen 2635 Denmark +45 4354 0222 http://www.arken.dk |
Arken, located in Ishøj, south of Copenhagen, houses a large new museum for modern art. This building has a character of its own, given to it by architect Søren Robert Lund. Arken fits beautifully into the low-lying landscape of beach, lakes, lagoons, and dikes. From a distance, the building resembles a huge ship. The interior of the museum has been criticised for not being very suitable for exhibiting paintings. Arken hosts exhibitions of work by world-famous modern artists, such as Dalí or Rauschenberg, as well as works by relatively unknown artists. It also contains a concert hall and a cinema.

 Former Church from the Thirteenth Century |
Nikolaj Plads 10 Copenhagen 1067 Denmark +45 3393 1626 http://www.nikolajudstillingsb... |
Kunsthallen Nikolaj (Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center) was actually a church, which was built in the thirteenth century. Since 1917, the building has only been used for exhibitions of different kinds, the reason being partly the beautiful, bare interior, which has proved perfect for showing art. The building has three galleries, including one in the tower. The exhibitions consist primarily of photographic art, and throughout the years, Kunsthallen Nikolaj has become known for its often provocative art. The subtle copper spire of Kunsthallen Nikolaj is a well-known silhouette in the Copenhagen skyline. When Nikolaj Kirke was built, the harbour of Copenhagen stretched as far as the foot of the church. With its direct view over the harbour, the church was named after the seamen's patron saint, Nikolaj. Now, the square surrounding the church is called Nikolaj Plads, and is a very attractive area behind Strøget. In April this year we changed our name to 'Kunsthallen Nikolaj'. The right english name is 'Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center" and the right adress is: Nikolaj Plads 10 Review © 2007, Wcities |
