Arken is a relative new museum some 20 km from Copenhagen City centre. Easily reach by car, but also accessible by public transport taking "S Tog" "E" to Ishøj station and walk the last 2 km to the museum beautiful located between the harbour and the beach (basis for a nice walk around before or after). Currently they museum have... More

Usually they have some good exhibitions. But the main thing is the big Damien Hirst Collection. Placed a little bit south of Copenhagen - but just at the beach. Take a tour and enjoy both at same day. Entrance to the museum is reasonable.

I can't say I like this gallery, but I loved getting there. The Arken Gallery is best described as ugly. There is some good art to be seen but I do understand the criticism that the building detracts from the exhibits - the ship-like construction intrudes on the works in the most unnecessary ways. But I did love visiting this... More

We have visited Lousiana almost every time we have visited Copenhagen. This time we chose to go to Arken Museum. It was very worthwhile. We recommend the museum and the restaurant with delicious food and a great view!

Modern architecture and ark. Placed directly to the seaside. Look at some art, enjoy the view and perhaps take a swim?

You'll be guaranteed to be challenged on your likes and dislikes, this place has some strange art from time to time, but always worth a trip. Best in car, as it's a bit out of the way. Nearby you will be strolling on the beach, or hanging out the sailing club, so spend a day with sunbathing and checking out... More

I was planning to go tot his place for a long time. One day I came to know that the current theme is India and I could not postpone my visit any more. Result: Excellent quality of time spent. The museum building itself is a remarkable piece of modern art. The exhibits were splendid. They had fashion, life, painting, street... More
