In Horsens, the gables are fascinating
Horsens Municipality and Horsens Art Museum have jointly embarked on enhancing the cityscape through art. Consequently, they have invited a range of Danish and international artists to embellish the numerous gables with stunning, thought-provoking works. These artworks are concentrated around the city center and are positioned quite close to each other. Some of the art pieces can be found in the western part of the city around FÆNGSLET (the former Horsens State Penitentiary).
