"The Cisternerne is a truly unique and unforgettable art space. Hidden beneath the serene Søndermarken park in Copenhagen, this former water reservoir offers a dramatic and atmospheric setting for contemporary art exhibitions.
Descending into the subterranean depths, visitors are greeted by a vast, cavernous space once filled with millions of liters of water. The raw concrete walls, combined with the cool, damp air, create a striking and otherworldly atmosphere.
Artists are invited to create site-specific installations that interact with the space's unique characteristics. From immersive light installations to thought-provoking conceptual pieces, the Cisternerne provides a platform for groundbreaking contemporary art.
It's important to note that the Cisterns are not suitable for everyone due to the cold temperature and the number of steps involved. However, for those seeking a distinctive and memorable art experience, this underground space is a must-visit."

"Going into this underground water storage is a one of a kind experience. And don’t be afraid, the Cisternerne is no longer in use, so there’s no need to bring swimming gear.
The entrance fee for this old storage is quite expensive, so I would recommend going when there’s an art exhibition on show. At the time when I visited, there was an exhibtion of modern art that used of rotating red and white cloth, in my opinion emphasising the eeriness of the space.
So, despite the costs, this one is on my list of most special places to visit in København. And when realising that the entrance costs enables the preservation of this part of København’s history, it’s perhaps not so bad."
