Metro must see: The underground mural 🎨 For some the holiday is coming to an end, others still have some weeks left. If you are in Copenhagen and need inspiration for a daytrip, this is what you’ve been waiting for. While most of the new stations on the new M4 line of The Copenhagen Metro and Greater Copenhagen Light Rail are in areas that have been developed over the last 10-15 years or are still under development, Mozarts Plads station is located in the middle of an old, well-established residential area. In fact, on the site of the old tram. It is an area full of working-class history and reminiscences of the industrial city Copenhagen once was. Inside the station the local artist christian schmidt-rasmussen has created a giant mural called “Out of childhood”. The mural covers all the walls and is a celebration of the area’s distinctive character. Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen grew up in the neighbourhood and his work is a free flow of animals, humans, shapes and forms in different colours on a beautiful deep blue background. The artwork is full of details and small open-ended stories and can be enjoyed when you wait for the metro on the platform, when you go up and down the escalators or when you pass by in the corridor to one of the two stairs leading to the station. If you only have time to visit one station, make it Mozarts Plads. Next week we’ll reach København Syd, the final stop on M4.
