Free admission – everyone is welcome. No registration required
Looking for a night out that’s anything but ordinary? On Friday, June 13, Gothenburg Museum of Art joins forces with Copenhagen’s legendary SMK Fridays to bring you an after-hours museum takeover packed with creativity, energy, and surprise.
Step into a world where art comes alive through immersive performances, live music, creative workshops, hands-on experiences, and personal art talks that take you behind the scenes. Dive into a sound bath in the middle of an exhibition, freestyle embroider messages of self-love, or let your body move with the art in a performance that blurs the line between viewer and creator.
Need a break from exploring? Grab a bite, sip something chilled, and catch the sunset to a live DJ set on the rooftop terrace – all while soaking in one of Sweden’s biggest and boldest art collections.
It’s free, it’s open to everyone, and it’s the kind of night you’ll be talking about long after it ends. The programme will be updated continuously.
ABOUT SMK FRIDAYS
SMK Fridays is the popular art event at Denmark’s National Gallery, SMK – Statens Museum for Kunst. Since 2013, it has been Copenhagen’s social and experimental Friday happening. The programme changes each time, but the recipe always includes a great mix of art, music, talks, performances, cold drinks, and hand-held food. Always based on SMK’s extensive collection of 700 years of art and its current exhibitions – and always with a wish to surprise and offer new perspectives on art, history, ourselves, each other.
Bikubenfonden has supported SMK Fridays throughout the years. In a new partnership, SMK and Bikubenfonden will develop SMK Fridays in the coming years with a focus on diversity, digital innovation, learning and knowledge sharing, and international perspectives.
