Welcome to ENIGMA, Denmark’s vibrant hub for communication and media. Born from the old Post & Tele Museum, it now thrives in a historic post office in Østerbro. ENIGMA is a treasure trove of Denmark’s communication history, housing the largest stamp collection and a significant specialist library. It’s a place where past, present, and future converge, offering a journey from the postal service’s inception in 1624 to today’s digital realities. The museum houses four different exhibition and activity areas, which together depict the Danish communication and media history from the establishment of the postal service in 1624, over mass communication in sound and images, to our time’s digital realities. Past, present, and future under the same roof. The name ENIGMA, a Greek word meaning riddle, reflects our mission to help decipher the riddles of everyday communication. We even house the world’s oldest ENIGMA machine, a code device from World War II. Our 2024 exhibition, “Hello human - do you trust me?” invites you to explore the potentials and pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Would you trust a machine to write your love letter or talk to your doctor? Join us at ENIGMA, and you’ll leave with new insights and knowledge. The exhibition guides you through what artificial intelligence is and can be used for. You get the opportunity to participate actively and critically take a position on the potentials and dangers that arise in the use of artificial intelligence.

Art gallery, water reservoir and urban dripstone cave  The subterranean space beneath the green lawns of Søndermarken Park works as a breathtaking stage for contemporary art installations. The cold, humid and dark old water reservoir might remind you of long-forgotten cathedrals and gloomy catacombs – it is sparsely illuminated, and the atmosphere evokes fascination and enchantment in both children and adults.  Every year Cisternerne invite an internationally recognized artist or architect to create an exhibition particularly to this underground space – an exhibition in large scale that interacts with and emphasizes the unique architecture, climate, atmosphere and history of Cisternerne. March 17th to November 30th 2024: Start Again the Lament by Taryn Simon Cisternerne presents an extensive sound installation by artist Taryn Simon. Building everlasting recitations of loss, Start Again the Lament explores how we mourn individually and collectively, considering the anatomy of grief and who we choose to guide us through it. In the act of lament, discontent is publicly performed. Professional mourners are granted the authority and solicited by the bereaved to occupy, negotiate, and shape their loss.  In a relentless replay, the lamentations of professional mourners are broadcast into the reverberating space of Cisternerne. These sonic rituals of grief include northern Albanian laments, which seek to excavate ‘uncried words’; Wayuu laments, which safeguard the soul’s passage to the Milky Way; Greek Epirotic laments, which bind the story of a life with its afterlife; and Yazidi laments, which trace a topography of displacement and exile. Cisternerne becomes an instrument echoing recitations of loss with a reverberation of 17 seconds.
