About the Jelling Monuments and Trapholt Museum of Modern Art
Jelling is located one hour’s drive south of Aarhus and is the site of a large stone ship and two large burial mounds, the Jelling Stones, and Jelling Church. They have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1994.
Trapholt Museum is a museum of modern art, craft, and design. We will be zooming in on two of their current exhibitions: Nanna Ditzel – Taking Design to New Heights and Shaping a Pattern.
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Nanna Ditzel’s birth, the exhibition Nanna Ditzel – Taking Design to New Heights presents the story of how you can express yourself and evolve by being in touch with the inspiration that art, culture, nature, and everyday life can offer.
In the exhibition Shaping a Pattern, Danish artist Maria Torp explores the potential of portraiture as an activist and enlightening format. The exhibition is a sensual and enlightening journey through five years of work, featuring 12 portraits of influential individuals, interviews, films, and Torp’s extensive research material.
