Visit the deep cellars, hidden rooms and historic floors of the Goose Tower as the myths and mysteries of the past are brought to life in the exhibition MONSTER, created by multi-artist Shane Brox.

For centuries, people have believed in monsters that hid in the shadows of the night, in the depths of the sea and in the unknown regions where imagination was given free rein. The monsters could frighten, create fear and symbolize the incomprehensible in human life - just as the Goose Tower has stood for 700 years, preserving the mysteries of history.

In the exhibition, you can look forward to meeting fascinating monsters. From the love-hungry giant octopus Kraken to the fearsome swarm of flies Beezlebub, the lonely Dragon and many more.

Each monster in the exhibition has been given an associated emotion that inspires children and adults to talk about difficult topics in a fun and different way.

Visit the exhibition in the Goose Tower, look at the monsters and explore what the different emotions mean and how you can deal with them.

ART, CREATIVITY AND RECYCLING

All the monsters in the exhibition are created from recycled materials such as foam mattresses, old dresses, can caps and curtains. With this, Denmark's Castle Center makes a creative contribution to taking care of our environment.

For example, stand face to face with the Sad Bleemya, with a skeleton and body made of an old garden umbrella and discarded textiles, a nose made of a foam mattress and eyes made of Frisbees. Look the monster in the eyes and feel how creativity can help you process emotions and thoughts in a constructive way.
