ARKEN is opening a new, imaginative exhibition universe created by the world-renowned Danish artist Thomas Dambo. Together with thousands of volunteers, Thomas Dambo has so far built more than 170 trolls in 19 countries across five continents. Every year, the sculptures draw millions of people out into nature. On the outskirts of Copenhagen, The Six Forgotten Giants roam the landscape — like all his other iconic sculptures, they are made from materials we would normally throw away. The exhibition THE GARBAGE MAN at ARKEN invites both children and adults to explore themes such as waste, art, recycling and humanity’s relationship with nature.

The exhibition is supported by
