Museet for Samtidskunst, Art museum in Roskilde, Denmark
The Museum of Contemporary Art operates through changing locations in Roskilde, presenting exhibitions of performance art, sound installations, and video productions throughout the city.
Founded in 1991, the museum initially occupied the Roskilde Royal Mansion, a Baroque palace from 1733 that served as a residence for Danish royalty.
The museum organizes exhibitions in unexpected spaces, including the former Sankt Hans psychiatric hospital, where artists present works that engage with the location's heritage.
The museum maintains a digital exhibition platform that allows visitors to explore virtual art installations and audio works until February 2026.
From 2023 to 2026, the institution transforms the former Sankt Hans hospital grounds into exhibition spaces while operating without a permanent building.
