Museum of Modern Art with collections of 400 post-war Danish, Scandinavian and international works of art.

Contemporary art has never been so sharp. Let's dare the image! The architect has dared the acute angle in this incredible vessel, combining the simplicity of lines and concrete materials with the complexity of the labyrinthine layout of rooms and corridors, under 12 m high ceilings.

You're in Arken, one of Scandinavia's leading contemporary art museums. Its astonishing architecture is part of the deconstructivist movement, which developed on a European scale in the 1980s, with a surfeit of increasingly audacious projects. Daniel Libeskind, Franck Gehry and Zaha Hadid are major representatives of this movement. Its main characteristics are deformation and dislocation, the interplay of angular forms and abstract geometries. This is perfectly reflected in the project led by the young architect Søren Robert Lund, then aged 25. The museum evokes the shape of a fragmented ship, with floors at inclined angles. Inaugurated in 1996, the complex was extended in 2008-2009 and again in 2016.

The collections house almost 400 works of post-war Danish, Scandinavian and international art, including renowned creations by Damien Hirst, Olafur Eliasson, Anselm Reyle, Shirin Neshat, Wolfgang Tillmans, the Danish-Norwegian duo Ingar Dragset and Michael Elmgreen. Nevertheless, Arken is keen to add to these by acquiring young Scandinavian artists. Major exhibitions are staged throughout the year.
