FLYING TRUNK - STORIES WE SHARE
05.10.2024-28.09.2025
Debjani Bhardwaj
Debjani Bhardwaj explores where people are divided and united across borders and cultures, taking the viewer on a journey of fragments, false memories, liberation, and fear. With psaligraphs, tunnel books, and shadow installations that depict bizarre, dreamlike scenarios, Bhardwaj explores universal and site-specific myths and folklore about human existence and hybrid beings. Inspired by ancient stories filled with legends of Mahabarata and the jungle, Bhardwaj seeks to find relationships between the contemporary human condition and the narratives that have shaped it.
SCRISSORS FOR A BRUSH
Permanent exhibition
Bit Vejle
In the museum’s core exhibition the world renowned psaligrapher, Bit Vejle, has collected a variety of the many impressive artworks, she has created with her embroidery scissors throughout her life.
Bit Vejle’s world consists of stories with beautiful motifs, but her art holds more than just pretty flowers and chirping birds. Every single papercut has its own story to tell and invites the observer to reflect and interpret. Some touches serious topics, whilst others celebrate the little things.

Permanent exhibition
H.C. Andersen
Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen is world-famous for his countless adventures. He was already recognised in his time as one of the most original authors in 19th-century Europe. However, Andersen is also famous for his imaginative papercuts and is believed to have invented the Danish braided Christmas hearts.
At the Museum for Paperart, you can experience a true national treasure by the beloved Andersen. In cooperation with Museum Odense a new original cut by Andersen will be shown every six months
