Frederiksberg Museums (Cisterns/Storm P)

Start your journey in Frederiksberg, where you can visit the fantastic Frederiksberg Museums. Among other things, you can go underground to the Cisterns in Søndermarken and have a sensory experience in the former water reservoir, where the South Korean artist Kimsooja is currently exhibiting "Weaving the Light." Here, you are invited into an illusory space where light is refracted in all the colors of the rainbow.

You can then within walking distance visit Storm right by the scenic Frederiksberg Gardens, which invites the whole family into a world of entertainment and satire. Here, you can both laugh and become wiser when Storm provides insight into the importance of humor and satire - historically and today. Here, you can, among other things, encounter the historical artist Storm P's humorous works or explore the special exhibition "But What Are We Allowed to Do Then?"
