Copenhagen has a wide selection of art museums and galleries displaying both historic works and more modern contributions. They include {{Lang|da|[[National Gallery of Denmark|Statens Museum for Kunst]]|italic=no}}, i.e. the Danish national art gallery, in the [[Østre Anlæg]] park, and the adjacent [[Hirschsprung Collection]] specialising in the 19th and early 20th century. [[Kunsthal Charlottenborg]] in the city centre exhibits national and international contemporary art. [[Den Frie Udstilling]] near the [[Østerport Station]] exhibits paintings created and selected by contemporary artists themselves rather than by the official authorities. The [[Arken Museum of Modern Art]] is located in southwestern [[Ishøj]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/art/top-10-art-museums|title=Top 10 art museums|publisher=Visit Copenhagen|access-date=3 December 2013|archive-date=7 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207032030/http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/art/top-10-art-museums|url-status=live}}</ref> Among artists who have painted scenes of Copenhagen are [[Martinus Rørbye]] (1803–1848),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smk.dk/en/explore-the-art/highlights/martinus-roerbye-the-prison-of-copenhagen/|title=Martinus Rørbye (1803–48), The Prison of Copenhagen, 1831|publisher=Statens Museum for Kunst|access-date=3 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180208051641/http://www.smk.dk/en/explore-the-art/highlights/martinus-roerbye-the-prison-of-copenhagen/|archive-date=8 February 2018}}</ref> [[Christen Købke]] (1810–1848)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smk.dk/en/explore-the-art/visit-the-conservator/stories-from-the-conservators/christen-koebke/|title=Christen Købke's View of a Street in Østerbro outside Copenhagen.

A number of notable sculptures can be seen in the city. In addition to ''The Little Mermaid'' on the waterfront, there are two historic equestrian statues in the city centre: [[Jacques Saly]]'s ''[[Frederik V on Horseback]]'' (1771) in Amalienborg Square<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kulturarv.dk/1001fortaellinger/en_GB/saly-s-equestrian-statue/images/newest/1/img-1289|title=Saly's Equestrian Statue|author=Louise Straarup-Hansen|publisher=Kurturarv|access-date=4 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140410031635/http://www.kulturarv.dk/1001fortaellinger/en_GB/saly-s-equestrian-statue/images/newest/1/img-1289|archive-date=10 April 2014}}</ref> and the statue of [[Christian V of Denmark|Christian V]] on Kongens Nytorv created by Abraham-César Lamoureux in 1688 who was inspired by the statue of [[Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII]] in Paris.<ref name="Nørregård-Nielsen2009">{{cite book|author=Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen|title=Dansk kunst: tusind års kunsthistorie|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DbpkdO-oSrYC&pg=PA137|year=2009|publisher=Gyldendal A/S|isbn=978-87-02-08873-1|pages=137–|access-date=29 October 2015|archive-date=7 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160507210012/https://books.google.com/books?id=DbpkdO-oSrYC&pg=PA137|url-status=live}}</ref> [[List of public art in Rosenborg Castle Gardens|Rosenborg Castle Gardens]] contains several sculptures and monuments including [[August Saabye]]'s Hans Christian Andersen, [[Aksel Hansen]]'s Echo, and [[Vilhelm Bissen]]'s [[Caroline Amalie of Augustenburg|Dowager Queen Caroline Amalie]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Danmarks_geografi_og_historie/Danmarks_geografi/Danske_slotte_og_herreg%C3%A5rde/Rosenborg_Slot|title=Rosenborg Slot|encyclopedia=Den Store Danske|access-date=4 December 2013|language=da|archive-date=8 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308214617/http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Danmarks_geografi_og_historie/Danmarks_geografi/Danske_slotte_og_herreg%c3%a5rde/Rosenborg_Slot|url-status=live}}</ref>

Copenhagen is believed to have invented the [[photomarathon]] photography competition, which has been held in the City each year since 1989.<ref>[http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/assets/documents/events/GEES_NTT_June_2012/Day_1_Photomarathon_activity.pptx Photomarathons:  Using New Technologies to Support Student Learning and Assessment] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140728183810/http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/assets/documents/events/GEES_NTT_June_2012/Day_1_Photomarathon_activity.pptx |date=28 July 2014 }}, Dr Simon Jones, Leeds Metropolitan University.
