Study Trip - Last Day

And 300 photos later . . .
The last day of our adventure was both busy and polished off with an amazing traditional Danish lunch. We left Aarhus at 8:30am and arrived at the St. Nicolai Courtyard shortly after. We had dinner at a restaurant in the courtyard the night before. The neon artwork on the brick wall was impressive, as was the space in general. Would have been an even better space if it were 60 degrees, but what can ya do?

Again with the cool lighting.

Besides the art museums, this was my favorite stop. This is Koldinghus in Kolding. It is a 700 year old fortress that has been renovated over the last 30 years. It is now an historic museum and exhibition space. They have done this jaw-dropping job of marrying the new and the old.

The Koldinghus had an exhibit of Poul Henningsens lamp designs which bathed the woodwork in warm light.

There was also a great cartoon exhibit of Ole Lund Kirkegaard's work.

Old and new architecture.

More stairs.

More lighting.
We had two more stops but they were rather uneventful. Then we headed back to Copenhagen. The countryside of Denmark is beautiful. Lots of gently rolling hills and white brick farm houses with red roofs. Most people are pretty darn friendly as well. Besides the cold and the stair climbing, I can't complain.
