The Nivaagaard Collection aims to be a sustainable and socially responsible museum.<\/h5>\n
The course is set \u2013 welcome on the journey!<\/h5>\n
<\/h5>\n

In the widest possible extent we take responsibility for reducing the operational climate footprint we leave on our planet. And we communicate insights into humanity’s ability to adapt and evolve through immersion, reflection, and supportive communities to our guests and employees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Nivaagaard Collection’s sustainability efforts are rooted in the museum’s founder Johannes Hage’s focus on mental health and art’s soothing effect on the soul in natural surroundings. With the new art education initiative Artfulness, the museum is striving to boost young people’s mental wellbeing, while community building events at the museum and the scenic surroundings aim to inspire guests across generations towards sustainable behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

With the ambitious climate renovation in 2021, The Nivaagaard Collection established a geothermal heating system, which converted the energy supply from fossil fuels to sustainable geothermal energy, capable of both heating and cooling the air in the exhibition halls. The museum received new skylights that improve the properties of the building shell, LED lighting throughout the premises and new, efficient ventilation ducts. Since then, we have implemented several environmental initiatives ranging from waste sorting to reviewing several new procedures for the museum, caf\u00e9 and shop.<\/p>\n

We are aware that with a sustainable mindset, we have a common purpose towards achieving a greener environment, but we are constantly evolving – and it\u2019s a never-ending goal. As a responsible art museum, we protect the environment, nature and sustainability when we:<\/p>\n
