Street Art & Graffiti in Nordvest

These are a few of the ranges that we can see in our hood: • Gadegalleriet (Rentemestervej & Møntmestervej) Curated alongside art collector Jens-Peter Brask, this project transformed massive apartment gables (belonging to housing associations like AB Mønten) into a public gallery so neighbors could look out at world-class art. Keep an eye out for iconic Danish figures like HuskMitNavn, who transitioned from raw '90s graffiti to globally recognized, humorous cartoon-style murals. More information on Gadegalleriet here. • The "Under Broen" Columns (Tagensvej Bridge / Bispebjerg Station) Right next to Bispebjerg Station sits a massive raw concrete canvas. This DIY skatepark zone, where the old train used to pass under the Tagensvej bridge, is covered in heavy graffiti, tags, and ever-changing pieces. It perfectly encapsulates the active community soul of NV—serving as a backdrop for kids of all ages practicing their skate tricks and the neighborhood throwing spontaneous daytime outdoor electronic parties. • The Thoravej Time Capsule (Miguel Baez) Look out for the vibrant, expressive pieces by local artist Miguel Baez on Thoravej. These walls are a true neighborhood milestone—he painted them all the way back in early 2013 (or maybe even before, but this is the earliest mention I can find of them), making them a long-standing staple of the NV landscape that has beautifully survived the test of time and graffiti shifts. More info on Miguel Baze here. • The S-Train Pop-Up (Nordvest Walls) Under the relatively new S-train track bridge, look out for the space that hosted the Nordvest Walls project. Unlike the permanent gables, this was a community initiative that unfortunately only lasting a few years, where the space was dedicated entirely to a single artist for a few months at a time. Now the latest painting has been covered in graffiti again, but checking it out might be worth it from time to time! Check out the Nordvest Walls Instagram here. • The Underground Voice (Spyo & The Streets) You cannot walk through NV without seeing large, black, block-letter poetry spray-painted high on walls. This is the work of Spyo, a street poet so beloved for his sarcastic, anti-system commentary that he was once voted "Copenhagen Citizen of the Year" by local readers. 🔍 A Quick Note from Me: This is just a starting point! I will be doing more research on the specific artists, backstories, and history of these walls whenever I can to keep adding depth to this guide. 📍 The Live Nordvest Street Art Map 👉 GOOGLE MAP How to use it: Open this link on your phone while you’re out walking.
