See you again for magnificent works, concert talks, guided tours, and a huge creative workshop
Soap bubbles, skulls and bodies in free fall. Floral arrangements, butterflies and pompous portraits. Join us as we invite you to Kulturnatten at SMK, where we dive into great dramas and mythical tales – and say farewell, for now, to the museum’s Old European Art collection.
In November 2026, the exhibition 'European Art 1300–1800' will close after more than 15 years – to reopen with new works and stories in autumn 2027. Help us say goodbye, thank you and see you again to the exhibition through baroque mini-concerts amidst the art with Concerto Copenhagen, expert talks, guided tours for visitors of all ages, and a gigantic creative workshop on SMK’s grand stage.
