Stærekassen, Art Nouveau theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark
The Stærekassen theatre features bronze reliefs on its facade depicting Apollo with the Muses of Tragedy and Comedy, along with Mozart and Shakespeare.
The building opened in 1931 as an additional stage for the Royal Danish Theatre and served as the first headquarters of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.
A large mosaic inside the arched passageway contains three million glass pieces from Venice, displaying representations of artistic and scientific figures.
The theatre auditorium contains 775 numbered seats and the foyer includes facilities for receptions and events accompanying performances.
The name translates to 'The Starling Box' and stems from the building's original design, which incorporated a prominent round window in its structure.
