The ARKEN Museum of Modern Art is one of Denmark's most important cultural hubs dedicated to contemporary art. Located in Ishøj, just a few kilometers from Copenhagen, the museum immediately impresses with its futuristic architecture, reminiscent of a ship stranded among the dunes.
The permanent collection includes works by Danish and international artists, with a particular focus on artistic research from the 20th century to the present day. Here you can admire masterpieces by Damien Hirst, Anselm Reyle, Ai Weiwei, and Elmgreen & Dragset, as well as a section dedicated to key figures in contemporary Nordic art.
ARKEN Museum also houses a vast collection of sculptural art, with large-scale installations both indoors and in the picturesque outdoor spaces that interact with the surrounding nature. The temporary exhibitions, often dedicated to prominent names in contemporary art, make each visit a unique and always fresh experience.
Completing the offerings are a design store, a panoramic café overlooking the lagoon, and educational activities designed for families, schools, and art enthusiasts.
Visiting ARKEN means immersing yourself in modern and contemporary art in a spectacular architectural setting where nature and creativity harmoniously blend.
