Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center
Nikolaj, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, Contemporary art center in central Copenhagen, Denmark
The Nikolaj center occupies a former church building with a 90-meter tower, displaying temporary exhibitions of modern artworks in multiple gallery spaces.
Originally constructed as Saint Nicholas Church in the 16th century, the structure underwent transformation in 1981 to become a dedicated contemporary art venue.
Danish and international artists present their works through exhibitions, workshops, and lectures that examine current societal themes in this converted religious space.
The center maintains regular exhibition hours near Amagertorv and Strøget, though visitors should note the building lacks wheelchair accessibility.
The building represents a combination of Dutch Renaissance architecture with Neo-Baroque elements, featuring an iron-spired tower visible across Copenhagen.
