‘Our Art. The People’s Collection.’— MAPS is launching a new digital platform bringing public art closer to everyone.
MAPS is developing MAPS 24/7, a new nationwide digital platform that makes public art visible, accessible and engaging for all.
For the first time, a unified digital gateway to public art across Denmark is being created.
Art is everywhere. In squares, housing areas, at stations, in parks and along roads. Art works that are part of our shared space and our shared history, yet too often remain unseen.
MAPS 24/7 is a new way to discover them.
The platform brings together, maps out and activates public art across the country, making it possible to experience it where life already unfolds – in the city, in the landscape and in everyday life.
MAPS 24/7 is not a comprehensive register, but a curated and research-based entry point to public art. A selection of works brought together by MAPS in collaboration with experts and local contributors, opening up new perspectives on what art is and what it can be.
Because public art is more than monuments and sculptures. It can be a landscape in the middle of a city, a light installation, a structure, a detail that changes how we move, what we see, and how we understand the places we share.
MAPS 24/7 is a new national infrastructure for public art.
A shared overview.
A shared guide.
A shared collection.
On the platform, you will be able to:
explore artworks and routes across the country
access knowledge, stories and new perspectives on what you pass by
experience art as an active part of your everyday life
The platform will launch in 2027 with the first 500 works from across Denmark, inviting you to explore the art around you.
MAPS 24/7 is made possible with the support of the New Carlsberg Foundation.
