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.
