Art & Sculpture Hidden Gems

Explore Copenhagen's alternative art scene through its unconventional galleries and public installations. This collection features the subterranean reservoirs of Cisternerne, now transformed into a dark, atmospheric exhibition space, and the underwater bronze figures of Agnete and the Merman in Slotsholm Canal. Discover Bjørn Nørgaard’s provocative sculptures near the waterfront, contemporary works housed in former churches, and neoclassical treasures at the Thorvaldsen Museum. These sites offer a focused look into the city's creative landscape away from the primary tourist circuit.
