Explore the timeless reflections of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, a renowned author whose works continue to resonate in our modern world. Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Andersen is known for his collection of fairy tales, which became the most sold book globally after the Bible. During his youth, he left Odense for Copenhagen and made a lasting imprint on society through his remarkable performances in dance and declamation. His tales are known for being illustrative, deep, and on a second reading, biting and nostalgic. Andersen was also a diligent letter writer, keeping journals and writing his autobiography three times. The temporary exhibition showcases illustrations of Andersen's works by artists such as Joel Stewart, Nikolaus Heidelbach, Silke Löffler, and Lisbeth Zwerger, offering a perspective on the lasting impact of his tales in a world where father figures seem to often slip away.
