KulturØen (The Culture Island) is a modern, architecturally interesting building, a feast for the eyes right on Middelfart's new harborfront. The Culture Island was designed by the renowned architectural firm Arkitekten Schmidt Hammer Lassen. Architect John Lassen and designer Lars Vejen were primarily responsible for the work. The building was constructed on an artificial island in the new harbor, the privately owned marina. The cladding is made of pre-patinated zinc. KulturØen opened in August 2005. The Culture Island houses a library, a 3D cinema, cafés, and the tourist information office. https://www.visitmiddelfart.de/middelfart/reiseplanung/kulturoen-die-kultur-insel-gdk614353
