Cisternerne, Underground art museum in Frederiksberg, Denmark.
The dark subterranean halls of Cisternerne stretch through a series of chambers with curved ceilings and reflective water surfaces covering the floors.
Built in the 1800s as Copenhagen's primary water reservoir, this underground structure stored drinking water for the city until its decommissioning in the mid-20th century.
Contemporary artists create site-specific installations that respond to the unusual environment of this former reservoir, incorporating water, light, and sound elements.
Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Thursdays, located within Søndermarken park.
Water still flows through parts of the underground museum, creating natural echoes and reflections that enhance the artistic installations throughout the space.
