Kulturhavn Kronborg is an area in the harbour of Helsingør dedicated to culture and events. It is an effort to offer a variety of culture experiences to resistance and visitors to Helsingør. It is a joint initiative[1] by Kronborg Castle, the Danish Maritime Museum, Kulturværftet and Helsingør harbour, and was opened in May 2013.
Kulturhavn Kronborg is the culmination of an ambitious project by the city of Helsingør to leave the industrial era behind and enter a new chapter for the town. This was first achieved with establishment of the kulturværftet 2010 in the buildings from the former Helsingør Værft (Elsinore Shipyard), and subsequently with the opening of the new Danish Maritime Museum in the summer of 2013 in the neighbouring dry dock.
The main protagonist to Kulturhavn Kronborg is the Kronborg Castle, UNESCO's World Heritage Site.
The location of Kulturhavn Kronborg is in the extensive area from the town of Helsingør over the Harbour including the Castle Kronborg. In the centre harbour basin the Town of Helsingør has commissioned a statue by the artist duo Elmgreen and Dragset with the title "han", installed in 2012.
