Gauri Gill

26.1.23 - 10.4.23

Photographer Gauri Gill's quiet, concentrated images focus the viewer’s gaze on barely perceived peripheral areas of Indian society.

About the Exhibition

The cold gaze - Germany in the 1920s

14.10.22 - 19.2.23

A sweeping journey through the roaring and explosive arts and cultural life of the 1920s Weimar Republic. At the center is the significant movement of "Neue Sachlichkeit" and its sober, harsh realism.

About the Exhibition

August Sander

14.10.22 - 19.2.23

A selection of more than 250 photographs of August Sander's life’s work “Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts” (People of the 20th Century) forms an independent part of the show about Germany in the 1920s.

Richard Prince

17.11.22 - 10.4.23

Richard Prince often uses banal images from our entertainment and consumption culture, which he twists and transforms in a way where the ordinary is "uplifted" into something strange and seductive.

A WALK
IN THE PARK

Nine signature works outside

In the series 'A Walk in the Park', which was shot in the spring of 2020, the museum's director Poul Erik Tøjner guides us to a number of the park's signature works.

The nine short films in the series range from the pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's yellow brushstrokes over Henry Heerup's granite figures to Alicja Kwade's stone globes and Alexander Calder's three masterpieces in front of the café.
