Scissors for a Brush
Permanent exhibition - Bit Vejle
In the permanent exhibition, you will experience our collection of masterpieces by the world renowned psaligrapher Bit Vejle, created with an embroidery scissor as the only tool. Vejle’s many paper cuts contain worlds of stories, filled wondrous motifs, but her artistic practice consists of much more than just pretty flowers and birds. Each and every piece has its very own story to tell and invites the viewer to reflect and interpret. Some touch on serious matters, while others celebrate the small, but important joys of life.

Paper Workshop
Experience meaningful interaction across generations, as we invite you to explore the paper material. In addition to visiting Museum for Papirkunst's exhibitions, you can also try your hand at paper art yourself in the Paper Workshop. We have all the materials you will need - you just have to let your imagination and creativity run wild. You will find a wealth of paper in different colors and textures, scissors, punching irons, glue, inspiration books, and much more – all available as part of your entrance ticket.

Kids only!
Do you find just looking at art a bit boring? Do not worry! You do not have to at Museum for Papirkunst. When visiting us, you will receive an activity suitcase, forbidden for adults and filled with fun and educational games. Though some activities change with the current exhibitions, the suitcase always contains a boarding pass for Paper-Plane Airport, a magnifying glass for finding all of the fun and strange characters in Bit Vejle’s paper cuts, and a template for cutting your very own Mill Man - just like Hans Christian Andersen himself!
