The highly sculptural quality of the new Culture Island energises the newly created peninsula extending into Middelfart’s waterfront. The Culture centre is a multi-functional building accommodating a wide range of the town’s culture facilities including a new public library, cinema, panorama restaurant, café, tourist information office and the town’s assembly hall. The Culture Island is created from its surroundings as an architectural sculpture inspired by the sea and the bridges spanning the Little Belt on each side of the Island.
