CowParade at Copenhagen Airport

Over the next three months, Copenhagen Airports is represented in the Copenhagen CowParade with a cow decorated by acclaimed Danish artist Bjørn Nørgaard, who was asked to designed a cow the way he wanted to.

"We are pleased that Copenhagen Airport chose to participate in and support the CowParade Copenhagen, the world’s largest public art event. With 60,000 international visitors at Copenhagen Airport, this is one of Scandinavia’s key exhibition windows, and it is therefore attractive to the CowParade and all the people who are enjoying the exhibition," said Mehdi Triki & Andi Debel, who have arranged the CowParade Copenhagen.   Spoiled with extra features Passengers at Copenhagen are already used to be spoiled with a number of extra features such as architecture, design and art by half a hundred of the best Danish and Scandinavian architects, artists and designers.

Yet another feature is added when the airport exhibits a cow from the CowParade Copenhagen that has been specially designed by acclaimed Danish artist Bjørn Nørgaard. The cow has just arrived and will be on display at the airport until September.
