Museet for Moderne Kunst (Arken)

Fodor's Review:

Architect Sren Robert Lund was just 25 when awarded the commission for this forward-looking museum, which he designed in metal and white concrete set against the flat coast southwest of Copenhagen. The museum, also known as the Arken, opened in March 1996 to great acclaim, both for its architecture and its collection. Unfortunately, for a couple of years following its opening it was plagued with a string of stranger-than-fiction occurrences, including a director with an allegedly bogus résumé. The situation has greatly improved, and today the museum's massive sculpture room exhibits both modern Danish and international art, as well as experimental works. Dance, theater, film, and multimedia exhibits are additional attractions.

  • Cost: DKr 60
  • Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-5, Wed. 10-9
