Royal Danish Academy of Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Danish: Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi) has been a parallel to the arts studies found on Danish universities for nearly 250 years.
[edit] History
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, was inaugurated on the 31 of March, 1754, and given as a gift to the Danish King Frederik V on his 31st birthday. It is still situated in its original building, the Charlottenborg Palace, right by the Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen.
The academy is the oldest and most renowned place of higher learning in Denmark where art and research within the theoretical and technological areas are bound together. It is significantly larger and better funded than the Jutland Art Academy and Funen Art Academy, which offer similar educations.
The main objective is to teach and research within the creative art, (painting, sculpting, architecture, graphics, photo, video etc.), and in the theoretical and cultural historical disciplines.
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts is subordinated under the Danish Ministry of Culture.
