Paradox of the Danish Golden Age

This exhibition featured paintings from the Danish Golden Age, a period that lasted from the early to mid-19th century. The visual identity used a palette of bold and vibrant colours in large banners and posters, in contrast with the more muted tones of the paintings. The contrast is deliberate: while Danish arts and literature thrived, the country was at the same time losing global power and influence.
