On Saturday afternoon forayed to the Statens Museum for Kunst (State Art Museum). This is just one of many free museums in Copenhagen, so with our limited intern budgets, the price was just right. The building itself is pretty cool. The special, visiting gallery spaces are housed in the original building, and the free, permanent exhibit of predominantly Danish art is in a new addition.

Most of the art on display was kind of weird, but it was fun to check out. I got the feeling we may have been in the more modern section.

| There was what appeared to be a hairy rock. |

| Some cool colored sculptures. |
 |
| This was my favorite piece- slivers of mica scattered on panes of glass. It looked a lot better in person. |

| Apparently the strings inside the sphere are a three-dimensional recreation of a Black Widow web. |
Aren't we cultured?

Ost: Cheese. It's pronounced like 'toast' without the first 'T'.
