Nanna Ditzel is one of the greatest Danish designers of the twentieth century. For the first time ever, her world of ideas and inspirations will be fully unfolded as Trapholt presents her total oeuvre in a densely sensuous array of furniture design, textiles, jewellery and immersive installations
If you stroll down through the museums main walk, you will find yourself surrounded by large, strikingly thought-provoking works on paper and expressive ceramic sculptures by two internationally acclaimed artists: Danish Michael Kvium (b. 1955) and Norwegian Kjell Erik Killi-Olsen (b. 1952). Note how the artists familiar two-dimensional imagery from their paintings almost seem to crawl out of the canvas to settle on dishes, jars and vases. How does this transition affect the way we view the figures? See for yourself in the exhibition In Clay and Paper.
An immersive experience The Kubeflex house gives Trapholt a unique opportunity to show Arne Jacobsen’s designs in a house designed by the master himself. Visitors will find interiors set out as dining and living rooms, incorporating examples of Arne Jacobsen’s other designs, such as the Vola line of faucets and the Cylinda-line series. Audiences are treated to an immersive experience of the internationally renowned architect’s designs, which beautifully complements the museum’s large collection of furniture by Danish architects and designers. Kubeflex was a pioneering contribution to the flexible architecture created back in the late 1960s. Preserved at Trapholt, Kubeflex will continue to inspire, amaze and delight guests from around the world for many years to come. Trapholt organises daily guided tours of the Kubeflex house; these tours are free for all museum visitors with a valid ticket
To create a space where architecture and painting merge: that is the main idea underpinning the Richard Mortensen Room at Trapholt. While the construction of Trapholt was underway, the museum’s director, Sven Jørn Andersen, was in talks with artist Richard Mortensen about acquiring a couple of paintings for the museum. By this time, the abstract artist Richard Mortensen (1910–93) had long been keenly interested in the interplay between painting and architecture. Mortensen proposed that if the architects behind the museum, Boye Lundgaard and Bente Aude, would design a room dedicated to Richard Mortensen’s art, he himself would create a series of paintings especially for the museum.
Architecture, art and nature come together in Trapholt’s sculpture park. Set in a scenic location overlooking the Kolding Fjord, Trapholt’s sculpture park offers a stunning extension of your museum visit. The sculpture park presents a collection of monumental works that relate directly to the surrounding architecture and nature. Here you can explore works by Danish sculptors such as Bent Sørensen, Ingvar Cronhammar, Ole Christensen, Erik Heide, Søren Jensen, Bjørn Nørgaard, Lars Ravn and Finn Reinbothe. The sculpture park is always open to the public; no tickets required. The museum guides are happy to provide a plan of the sculpture park, allowing you to explore the works yourself.
Create and curate your own exhibition at Trapholt. With YOUR exhibition, Trapholt invites all visitors to put together their own exhibitions featuring main works from Trapholt’s collection of art, design and crafts. You decide what your exhibition should contain and how it should be presented – perhaps based on a particular colour, subject matter, period, artist or something else entirely. The whole thing takes place digitally. If you wish to play along, you will take a disc-shaped token with you around the exhibition, enabling you to select the works you want to include and decide on how to present them. Upon completion, your exhibition will be shown on a large screen – and you can have it posted to your social media profiles. YOUR exhibition is suitable for adults and children alike.
