Gammel Strand

The HQ of Denmark’s artists’ union is a good place to catch the cream of contemporary art, with six to eight annual exhibitions of big-name and emerging Danish and international artists, as well as the occasional restrospective.

Exhibitions aside, the center also hosts art talks, readings and performances; see the website for details.
