Located in the quiet village of Kirke Saaby, the Stalke Collection is not exactly what you’d expect to find in this small Danish suburb.

With a frequently changing exhibition program, the Stalke Collection focuses on contemporary art from 1960’s up to the emerging artists of today. Many of the artists in the collection have also been included in the program of the Stalke Galleri, which first opened in 1987 and also has a focus on modern and contemporary art.

Here, the Stalke Collection exhibits a selection of works from their collection.
