The Maritime Museum has taken part of its exhibition outdoors this late summer, leaving behind its usual focus on the cubist underground rooms around the old dry dock.

The new centerpiece is a 24-meter-long collage by Danish-Chilean artist Javier Tapia. It is a bright, varied and enjoyable experience for the eye, according to Holger Dahl.

But Dahl believes the installation is missing the final touch. His review praises the colorful spectacle while pointing to two things that go wrong.
