WE TAKE ART AND DESIGN SERIOUSLY
Like food on the table and water in the glass, art and design are essential ingredients in life. Art pits good against evil. Life against death. It helps us to experience life and question the way we live it. Design helps us navigate the world. We are enriched. That’s how it is today. And that’s how it’s always been. In the Heart of Jutland, we take art and design seriously. You will feel it when you go from place to place.
