The Royal Danish Library has launched an official virtual Nick Cave exhibition that fans can now explore online.
Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition offers an unprecedented look into the musician’s creative world, with a dynamic, interactive online experience also featuring a new audio guide recorded by Nick Cave himself.
Over 300 items Cave has created or collected have been gathered in large-scale installations for the online, artistic exhibition. Cave was a co-curator and co-designer, with the exhibition containing an unorthodox fusion of biography, autobiography, and fiction. Fans will get to soak in the experience by looking through photographs, letters, artworks, objects, installations, audio, and video.
The original, physical Stranger Than Kindness exhibition was developed and designed by Christina Back, Royal Danish Library and Janine Barrand, Arts Centre Melbourne, in collaboration with Nick Cave for The Black Diamond in 2020.
The virtual exhibition is free to enter and can be accessed here.
The virtual exhibition opens less than two months before Nick Cave returns to Australia and New Zealand with The Bad Seeds on their Wild God Tour.

Set to perform tracks from their latest album, Wild God, the shows will also feature the rock band playing songs from across four decades of their legendary career, making for a thrilling two-and-a-half-hour show.
Tickets are available now via Nick Cave’s website.
Discussing the band’s monumental return to Australia and New Zealand, Cave said: “I can’t wait to get to Australia and New Zealand with The Bad Seeds and to bring you our epic Wild God show. It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve missed both Australia and New Zealand very much. It will be a wild and mighty joy.”
Cave embarked on an intimate theatre tour of Australia last year, with Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood playing bass as he sang and played the piano. You can read The Music’s review of the pair’s show at Melbourne’s Plenary here.
