Super cool experiences as always. This is my third or fourth visit here and each time it’s some cool exhibitions they have. One of my favourite museums in Denmark.
It’s not too far from Copenhagen either. And the bike ride from the station is pretty nice too.
The shop is as always filled with fun finds and I can recommend getting fries from the restaurant- they serve a proper portion (big) for a fair price.

If you love modern art, this is the place for you. Plus it sits in a beautiful surrounding, with walks around the lakes and by the sea. A lovely cafe is just a few hundred yards away with pizza, beer, ice cream and other refreshments. Spend an extra hour exploring the nature walks if weather permits. You may even be lucky enough to spot a troll on your walk!

Cool museum! Lots of modern and interactive art that’s fun to explore. Loved that you can actually engage with the exhibitions instead of just looking at them. The building and seaside location make it even better. If you are looking for a different museum experience this is a good option.

A very nice contemporary art collection showing a large variety of mediums and subjects. They also include community projects and plenty of opportunities to rest and create. Family oriented and cozy.

truly engaging experience with its thought-provoking exhibitions and interactive attractions that leave a lasting impression. The location, slightly away from the city center, adds to its unique atmosphere and makes the visit even more memorable. On top of that, the museum café serves excellent coffee, making it a perfect spot to reflect on the art and the overall experience.
