Arken Museum of Modern Art

The Arken Museum building incorporates maritime architectural elements with white walls, angular shapes, and large windows overlooking the surrounding coastal landscape.

Danish architect Søren Robert Lund designed this contemporary art institution, which opened its doors to the public on March 15, 1996.

The museum maintains a collection of over 400 Danish, Scandinavian, and international post-war artworks, featuring installations by Damien Hirst and Olafur Eliasson.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 22:00 on Wednesdays at Skovvej 100.

The 2016 expansion transformed the museum grounds into an artificial island connected by bridges and surrounded by constructed lagoons.
