An afternoon of art

You can also find gardens, a sculpture park, the mega-sculpture ELIA, and many more exciting areas. At HEART there is also a lovely museum shop, where you might find something to take home.

The art of nature

Experience something out of the ordinary. A small drive from Herning is Skovsnogen - deep forest art land, an art exhibit without walls and with nature as an active participant.

Always open, always free.

Experience the giant sculpture HATE in the middle of a forest.

Have a great experience with your kids in Skovsnogen, where you without a doubt will have a lot to talk about.
