Today, Cisternerne is an underground art space and a hidden pocket beneath the city where you can retreat from everyday life, where time stands still, and where the mobile signal does not reach.

When the cold and damp climate of Cisternerne envelops you, you do not merely observe the art – you are completely surrounded by it.

The old water reservoir is dimly lit, and the atmosphere evokes fascination and enchantment in both children and adults. Each year, we invite an internationally renowned artist or architect to create an exhibition specifically for the underground spaces of Cisternerne – an exhibition that awakens all the senses and interacts with the unique architecture, climate, ambiance and history of Cisternerne.

Upcoming exhibition

Marina Abramović: Seven Deaths

In 2026, Cisternerne will present the world-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović’s spectacular cinematic opera installation Seven Deaths.

14. march 2026 – 30. november 2026

Marina Abramović: Seven Deaths

Upcoming events

Exhibition space, water reservoir and dripstone cave

Cisternerne is an underground exhibition space and a hidden pocket beneath the city – a place where you can retreat from everyday life, where time stands still and where mobile signals cannot reach.
