9 Surprising Places To See Art in Big Cities

The dark, cavernous tunnels of the Cisternerne once formed a subterranean reservoir that stored some 4 million gallons of water for Greater Copenhagen from 1859 to 1891.

The reservoir, located beneath Frederiksberg Hill, was permanently closed due to contamination in 1933, but it earned new life as an art museum in 2001. The only indication of the Cisternerne's presence below is the pair of modern glass pyramids that serve as entrance and exit points. Once you descend beneath the park, you'll explore a fascinating world of contemporary art exhibits and immersive installations that are open to the public year-round. Even the air inside — consistently 47 degrees Fahrenheit, with humidity near 100% — is unusual. The chambers are also not particularly well lit, so be sure to watch your step as you explore this unique collection.
