ARKEN’s Collection comprises almost 400 works of art. ARKEN collects Danish, Nordic and iternational art with special emphasis on contemporary art, i.e. works from 1990 onwards. There are two unifying principles in the Collection: one is art concerned with the existence of modern man, the other focuses on art that via new forms, materials and media explores the very definition of art.

The museum’s collections, library and archives constitute a central resource centre for the study of design and its history in Denmark.

We must add to this the collection of exemplary works from older “areas” and periods, which are closely related to contemporary oeuvres. The Danish Museum of Art & Design undertakes research into the history of art and design, taking as its point of departure the museum’s own collections, and presents the results in exhibitions, publications and educational material etc.
