More information on Kunstforeningen

Kunstforeningen, on the charming Gammel Strand, has an excellent view over the canal and Christiansborg. The building has recently been restored and has a very beautiful yard. Kunstforeningen holds changing exhibitions of work by Danish and international artists. There is a special tradition of showing especially modern Norwegian, Swedish and other Nordic art, from 1906, when the world-famous Edward Munch had an exhibition here. In 1941 there was an exhibition of Icelandic art, in 1964 a show by the Norwegian Reidar Auli and in 1969 an exhibition of the remarkable Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck. Please refer to the website for timings.
