The governing body for The Danish Museum of Photography has decided to close the physical exhibition with effect from the 17th of December 2017.

Due to a 80 % cut in the public expenditure from Herning Municipality, the governing body has been unable to find a sensible and economic responsible way of running the physical exhibition of the museum.

The governing body has been negotiating with many other municipalities and exhibition venues trying to establish a cooperation based on a financially stable foundation. Unfortunately, all efforts has ended with a negative result.

The museum’s core collection has been placed in a secure storeroom, in the hope of finding a new location for The Danish Museum of Photography in a new and modern version.

The governing body will continue searching for new solutions – including unconventional directions, in order to give The Danish Museum of Photography a new home with a modern exhibition.
