Description was written before the event

On September 13, 2026, the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum celebrates exactly 50 years since its opening day. The occasion is marked with a public festival featuring free concerts, talks, and workshops for everyone.

About the venue: CHPEA Museum

Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelt Museum (CHPEA) opened in 1976 in Birk Centerpark, east of Herning, and holds more than 6,000 works - paintings, watercolours, sculptures and mosaics - by the CoBrA artists Carl-Henning Pedersen and Else Alfelt. The circular original building, designed by C.F. Møller, is surrounded by a moat and clad in ceramic tiles populated with fantastical figures. In 2015 an underground corridor was added, connecting the museum to the Angli courtyard where Pedersen's monumental frieze "The Play of Imagination around the Wheel of Life" is on display. Alongside the permanent collection, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions, lectures, concerts and children's activities.
