Description
Arken, located in Ishøj, south of Copenhagen, houses a large new museum for modern art. This building has a character of its own, given to it by architect Søren Robert Lund. Arken fits beautifully into the low-lying landscape of beach, lakes, lagoons, and dikes. From a distance, the building resembles a huge ship. The interior of the museum has been criticised for not being very suitable for exhibiting paintings. Arken hosts exhibitions of work by world-famous modern artists, such as Dalí or Rauschenberg, as well as works by relatively unknown artists. It also contains a concert hall and a cinema.
