In 2018 Jørn Utzon would have celebrated his 100th birthday. We honor the Danish starchitect with the solo exhibition “Horisont” presenting Utzon’s many travels and his curiosity for foreign cultures which influenced his wonderful iconic architecture.

Don’t miss this retrospective solo exhibition with one of the biggest Danish architects ever: Jørn Utzon. In the exhibition you’ll travel with Utzon on his many journeys to the Arab region across Northern Africa, Central America, Asia and to his second home, Mallorca.

Utzon was captivated by local cultures wherever he went. And in his architecture the source of inspiration is easily traced in both form and function. Utzon also brought inspiration from his previous journeys to his projects in other countries – an example is the Sydney Opera House inspired by Chinese temples.

Sydney Opera House is probably the one building which most of us connect to Jørn Utzon. In this exhibition you’ll get a close and rare perspective on this masterpiece which most architects can only dream of having designed – and which is now an iconic landmark for a whole continent.
