For the love to Greenland

The folk art collection of the Prince Consort of Denmark

This exhibition focuses on the wealth of Greenland folk art, which ornamentation, shape and colors reflect a genuine sense of beauty.For many years, the Prince Consort has been interested in folk art from Greenland and has built up a great collection, which one third is exposed here.The rest comes from the ethnographic collection of the National Museum, with fine examples of richly decorated East-Greenland costumes from the late 18th century.The exhibition is complemented with conferences, documentaries, concerts, literary evenings, dance… on the theme of Greenland today and yesterday.Tuesday-Friday 1pm-7pmSaturday and Sunday 1pm – 6pmClosed on MondayOpen during public holidaysFree admissionWith the support of Knud Højgaards Fond, Ole Kirks Fond and Velux Fonden.Please contact the Embassy of Denmark press service for any additional information or to request high-definition visuals, Gitte Delcourt at gitdel@um.dk // (+33) 1 44 31 21 13 Exhibition organised by the Cultural Department of the Embassy of DenmarkPhotographer: Kristine Havemann
