10 Best Museums in Copenhagen

"South of Copenhagen, between Ishøj Harbour and Køge Bay Beach in the multi-cultural suburb of Vestegnen, Arken is a shrine to modern and contemporary art, buoyed by a rustic, maritime backdrop. The building, designed by Søren Robert Lund, is just as captivating, its architecture mimicking a ship. Inside are more than 400 works by Danish, Nordic, and international artists from 1990 and beyond, including Antony Gormley and Olafur Eliasson, as well as entire galleries devoted to Damien Hirst and Anselm Reyle." - Alia Akkam
