Arken Museum for Modern Kunst- a modernist beauty designed by Soren Lund and framed in this photo by an Olufur Eliasson sculpture. Inside are the Damien Hirsts and Jeff Koons you might expect of a museum of contemporary art but with the addition of some great Nordic art works from an Agser Jorn mural which once adorned the walls of a farmhouse on the island of Laeso to a collection of contemporary landscape photos called 'Nordic Moods', mmm quite similar to the feel of landscape photography in Aoteroa as well (Antipodean moods?). The 'weather diaries' of Finnish photographer Jari Silomaki, where a daily record of weather and fragments of personal and political events are scrawled onto a collection of photos play on the 19th century use of the weather diary as a barometer of internal and external pressures.
