Pop into Den Frie Udstilling, a white wooden pavilion near Østerport station. See a contemporary group show in a bright, airy space, ideal for a quick art break.
Full description
Den Frie Udstilling occupies a large, white, restored 19th-century wooden pavilion close to Østerport station and stages group exhibitions of contemporary art. Reviewers like the building, its natural light and the relaxed atmosphere for wandering, but note it is small and the visit is short, in some cases 15 to 20 minutes, and opinions on the art vary.
One suggests buying the exhibition programme to follow the work. It suits visitors who want an architectural setting and a quick contemporary art stop rather than a full museum outing.

Reviews
It's a very nice building, lots of natural light and great atmosphere for walking around and exploring. It's not a huge museum so expect a short visit. The art exhibition when I visited were a bit rough, some interesting some less. But overall there's a good vibe and it seemed like the curation was very well thought…
