Throughout Copenhagen Contemporary, you’ll meet our hosts in beige jackets who are happy to tell you about the art and answer any questions. They can also assist you in getting around or help you if needed.

Workshop Activities:

In our workshop you can try your hand at creating something yourself. Inspired by the exhibitions at Copenhagen Contemporary, it is a great way to experience the art through your hands.

Our workshop is located on the 1st floor and is open on weekends and school holidays from 11:00 – 17:30.

Our workshop facilitators are there to help and guide you.

If you prefer a quieter visit, we recommend visiting us early afternoon on weekdays or Thursday evenings where we’re open until 21:00.
