Overgaden Institut for Samtidskunst is a contemporary art gallery at Overgaden Neden Vandet 17 in Copenhagen. Its exhibitions explore experimental work, including installations and video, in a calm, informal space. The programme spans different forms of contemporary art, from interactive information-based work to painting. Pick up an exhibition leaflet to follow the ideas behind the works, then allow around 20 to 30 minutes to see both floors. The gallery suits a short, focused art stop rather than a full-day museum visit.
