Friday Story: Venetian Glass from Murano: Friday 23 October 2026, 10:30, CHPEA Museum, Herning. Tickets cost 25 kr.

The story of how railway cars loaded with glass from Murano arrived in Western Jutland and became world art is the focal point of this Friday story. Along the way, you can see one of the masterpieces now displayed at the museum in Herning.

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.
