During the half-term holiday, a group of U6 art scholars travelled to the beautiful capital city of Denmark, Copenhagen. It was a wonderful trip, packed with gallery visits, sight-seeing, museums, food and shopping! A great bonus to this trip that we all enjoyed was the location of our hotel. We stayed on the Nyhavn: a canal which is lined with colourful houses on both sides, giving us a beautiful view from our rooms and easy access to fantastic restaurants. As this trip was filled with artists, I am sure this view was subject to all of our cameras. On my favourite day, we visited the MACA museum, in which I was thrilled to see many reproductions of Banksy’s work, with the exhibition showcasing the evolution of his career. Following this we took a walk along the Langelinie Pier, on our way to the Design Museum, seeing the statue of the Little Mermaid and passing the stunning Kastellet fortress and The Marble Church. We then visited the National Gallery, before trying the famous Gasoline Grill burgers for dinner, which I can confirm were worth the hype. We finished the day with an exciting climb of the Round Tower, which gave us a perfect view of the city at night. The Round Tower is the oldest functioning observatory building in Europe and the night we visited, it was open to the public – it was built to enable astronomers from the University of Copenhagen to gaze at the stars far above the lights and the smoke of the city, and some of us had a look through the incredible telescope at the simply stunning city vista. Another great day began with us being given free time; a few of us used this to explore the city using only a paper map, and our digital cameras. We then visited Kunsthal Charlottenborg, one of the largest exhibition spaces for contemporary art in Northern Europe, followed by the Danish Architecture Centre; extremely useful to some 3D students looking to pursue architecture as a career. The best bit for many was the permanent exhibition – a 40-metre, 4-story spiral slide down which most of us dared throw ourselves. A final highlight was on our last day which was dedicated to shopping and exploring Copenhagen’s extensive number of shops and bakeries! These pastries were another level!  A huge thank you to Mr Passam, Mrs Curtis and Mr Cann, who made this trip so wonderful!
