Every Saturday, the museum hosts guided tours of the exhibition Kaååråålines Verses. Here we delve into Karoline Ebbesen’s artistic work and her aesthetic and sometimes mysterious qualities. The tour also visits the exhibition’s contemporary artists who have found kinship in Ebbesen’s work and delves into the exhibition’s central themes.

The tours are conducted in Danish and led by museum hosts Adam Ahlstrand Christensen, Anna Caroline Kristensen, and Andrea Mæland.

The tours are free of charge. Registration via the link at the bottom of the page.

Kaååråålines Verses
The exhibition Kaååråålines Vers (Kaååråålines Verses) is the Roskilde Museum of Contemporary Art’s autumn exhibition, displayed in Kurhuset, located in the former Sankt Hans Hospital, where the artist Karoline Ebbesen lived from the mid-1880s until her death in 1936. During her long hospitalization, Ebbesen produced works in textiles, embroidery, collage, drawing, and text, and developed her own font and alphabet. The exhibition presents Ebbesen’s works alongside new large-scale installations by Danish and international artists, all with direct references to Ebbesen.
