Silkeborg Bad

Silkeborg Bad is an art museum and cultural center in Silkeborg comprising multiple buildings connected by corridors. Its spaces display contemporary art exhibitions, while outdoor areas accommodate installations and sculptures.

The site began in 1883 as a health resort where visitors came for wellness treatments. During World War II it served as German military headquarters before later transforming into an art venue.

The center hosts rotating exhibitions featuring Danish and international artists, inviting visitors to discover contemporary works across its spaces. The surrounding sculpture park complements the indoor shows and creates an open area for walking and exploring.

The venue is open daily for visitors to explore both indoor galleries and outdoor areas. Guided tours in multiple languages are available to help you understand the exhibitions.

The site preserves old treatment rooms and medical equipment from its spa days, which now serve as unusual exhibition spaces for contemporary art. This contrast between historic elements and modern artworks creates a special experience when visiting.
