Skagen Odde Nature Centre

The nature center doesn't really deserve its name at the moment. There is an incoherent art exhibition in the corridors, a whole section of advertising (greenwashing?) from the sponsors, but unfortunately very, very little information about the flora and fauna of the region. Many opportunities are not used here. The small and free nature center in Vorupør, for example, does a much better job. Too bad for the town of Skagen.

It has a very diverse collection, wit expositions by local artists, combined with nature education, you have to go and check out the house owl at reception, it is amazing. Frome here a few trails start in an amazing area, an undiscovered gem, so close to big volume tourists at the tip, 30 minute walk from the northeast point of Danmark. Kind and knowledgeable staff

Good informative value in their stands and from their guides about the flora and fauna og this particular and special area in Denmark. The artgallery currently stands as a rather odd extension og the museum. The museum itself really needs to up its visibility. Not even a proper roadsign outside the museum is present currently, so a fair few potential customers are probably passing it unknowingly.

We greatly enjoyed the combination of architecture, art and nature. The unique building designed by Jørn Utzon (of Sydney Opera House) contains information about Utzon's philosophy of design which combines form inspired by and complimenting nature. Well worth discovering. Additionally there was an exhibit with film which explained how nature is forming the Skagen Odde Area. That was my favourite. Then there were additional hands on areas about various aspects of local biology, zoology, geology and botany. Cool for kids. The current art exhibit with paintings and sculpture was top rate. And there was a lovely cafe area. Great way to spend a few hours. Take a sketch book and sit in the courtyard! And by the way the friendly, informative lady working the register was the cherry on top of the cake! Great place for something different near the seaside.

Unfortunately we was not visiting inside. But looks good and some kind of art center.

Beautiful design of the building complex is worth a visit alone. Why not cycle there and take in the scenery.

Nice

The architeckture by utzon is interesting, the collection not that much
