This guided tour takes you through the exhibition Lyksalige Stunder i Naturen med de Danske Svampe, led by an art historian who puts the works and the artists behind them into context. The show uses mushrooms as its central theme, exploring their beauty, fragility and danger, and brings together contemporary international art, classical paintings, folklore and natural history illustrations.
The exhibition takes its starting point in a groundbreaking 1790 book on Danish fungi by Sophienholm's founder, Theodor Holmskjold. Artists featured include Megali Reus, Günter Grass, Shigeo Otake, Paul Thek, Sanya Kantarovsky, Ebbe Stub Wittrup, Vibeke Glarbo, Nikolai Howalt and Peter Ilsted.
