The Danish Parliament (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Located in the historic Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, the Danish Parliament offers an unmissable look at democratic history through ornate chambers and fine art, inviting you to explore the heart of Denmark.
Modern art has gained a firm foothold at Christiansborg in recent years. It is not a matter of chance that artists began to take certain liberties from the 1960s onwards. The invention of TV meant that the public became increasingly familiar with politicians so it was no longer so important to portray them in a realistic manner. At the same time, artists have been experimenting with new forms of expression, and a living state institution and a workplace such as Christiansborg must naturally reflect these developments.However, most recently, a more discreet and realistic idiom has once again emerged.
