Arken.dk is the website dedicated to the works found in the Arken Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen, Denmark. The original landing page of the site is in Danish, but it has a ‘translate into English’ button that allows US residents to examine and enjoy its contents.
The arken.dk website is a natural extension of the mission of the museum, which is to find and expose the best in Danish cultural life, particularly that of the regions south of Copenhagen, to a larger audience. These areas are home to many immigrants to Denmark from Kurdistan, Turkey, and Pakistan, and in order to give them an outlet for their artistic expressions and learn more about others, Arken was built.
Visitors to Arken.dk can see a quick slideshow of the current displays, or experiences, as well as examine the museum’s collection in more depth. Arken houses more than 300 works of art with a special emphasis on works from 1990 and forward, all concerned with the existence of modern man as well as what new forms and media mean to the standard definition of art.
Those planning a visit to Arken can get location, hours, and admission information, and check out the menu in the cafe, which features special set menus on Wednesdays. Even if you can’t get to Copenhagen, you can still take part in the Arken experience by purchasing various commemorative items and art books from their online store. Anyone with an interest in art, particularly modern art, will find Arken.dk to be a satisfying experience.
