To be or not to be at Kronborg Castle

This autumn the Danish enfant terrible, artist Thomas Kluge, is exhibiting at Kronborg Castle. Inspired hugely by the Renaissance portrait tradition it makes good sense to exhibit a major collection of his works at Kronborg Castle.

The castle was in 2000 included in Unesco’s world heritage list due to its outstanding example of the Renaissance castle, but also because of its highly significant role in the history of northern Europe.

The paintings by Thomas Kluge are full of contrasts. There is no room for vain cover-up. You get to meet the portrayed at eye level. This will strike you most at the portrait of H.R.H. Crown Prince Frederik, which is publicly shown for the first time. The exhibition runs from 5 September to 8 November.
