Exhibitions
Past exhibitions on The Theater Museum.
The Theatre Museum at the Court Theatre presents Doris Bloom’s work-in-progress installation, which is the culmination of years of research into “the geography of the identity.”
In 1748, Copenhagen received a fine new theatre building located in the best part of town: The Comedy House on Kongens Nytorv designed by Nicolai Eigtved, Court Architect. After 1770, the theatre was known as the Royal Theatre.
Copenhagen’s private theatres’ history is rich in accounts of people’s greatness and failure, of institutional change and of artistic ups and downs. With this exhibition, The Theatre Museum gives a theatre historic and administrative view of the directors and administrators behind the performances.
When Martin Tulinius and Mikkel Harder Munck-Hansen started Kaleidoscope in 1993, the aim was to create a collective forum for various art genres, first and foremost theatre, visual arts, music and film.
One hundred years after Henrik Ibsen’s death, the Theatre Museum’s exhibition Ibsen in Danish opened. The exhibition concentrated on Ibsen’s dramatic works on the stage and the different interpretations Danish directors have used through the years.
In the exhibition “Theatre-Painters” a long list of Danish visual artists are highlighted, who in the recent decades have had one or more scenographic assignments or in another way have contributed to the development of the institution of theatre’s visual presentation.
The highpoint of the exhibition is 11 circular pastels from an artist carnival at Casino Theatre in 1885. P.S. Krøyer was commissioned to paint portraits of the artists present and as far as is known, he used little more than an hour or two on each picture.
The exhibition “New Danish Dance Theatre, 1981-2006” (December 9, 2006 – May 1, 2007) marked the 25th anniversary for New Danish Dance Theatre.
