A Day in the Park

Copenhagen has a lot of parks that suits perfectly for a picnic during nice weather.
In Frederiksberg Have which surrounds Frederiksborg Slot, you find Chinese pavilions, temples and a dripstone cave.
Bernstorffsparken is a lovely park, designed with inspiration from the romantic English landscape gardens. Here you can stroll amongst large green lawns, oak- and beeches woods and visit The Queen Louise’s Teahouse with a view over the rose garden.
Fredensborg Slot & Slotshave and Kongens Have are also popular spots for couples in the spring and summer. Fredensborg Slotshave has the largest and most well-preserved baroque gardens in Denmark with 70 sculptures to look at.
Tivoli is also worth a visit at any season. When the spring arrives, Tivoli is decorated with thousands of flowers, plants and Chinese lanterns in beautiful colors that lights up the park when it gets dark. Then you can take a walk around the lake and watch the fireworks.

Look me in the eyes (100123 - 100307)

The exhibition ”Look me in the eyes” shows new Russion photography by Margo Ovcharenko and Evgeny Mokhorev. While Margo Ovcharenko holds on to the perhaps slightly self centered private sphere, Evgeny Mokhoev is more interested in depicting the exposed teens from Sankt Petersburg, who haven’t been able to keep up with the social recovery. Both create images, where the direct contact to the individual is important. Not least the eye contact.

Opening hours: Tues-Sun 11-17

Admission: 15 DKK, students/pensioners 10 DKK
