Rikke Raben is a Danish sculptor and medallist.
Raben was born in 1965 [1] to film consultant, film director Frits Raben, and tv-producer, director and screenwriter Ulla Raben. [2]
Raben’s first sculpture was a full-figure sculpture of Aegeus (a copy of a lost Bissen sculpture) for the 1996 DR television series Bryggeren. Between 1987 and 2006 she worked for DR with production design on several film- and TV productions. [3] In 2001 Raben was commissioned with portrait sculptures of Danish film director Lars von Trier and film producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen for the film production company Zentropa, and in 2002 she was commissioned by the National Museum of Denmark to create a portrait medal of professor Jørgen Jensen. [4]
In 2010 she was given the assignment to design the Niels Bohr Institute's honorary medal. [5] She has also created a relief of the four Nobel Laureates, George de Hevesy, Ben R. Mottelson, Aage Bohr and Niels Bohr, for the Niels Bohr Institute (2012). It can be viewed on a wall outside the institute on Blegdamsvej in Copenhagen.
In 2022 a relief portrait of Mrs. Birthe Meyer of the Meyer Foundation was commissioned by the Department of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen where it can be viewed.
In 2019, she was charged [6] with the creation of a statue of the Danish author Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) for Sankt Annæ Plads in central Copenhagen. It was revealed in 2024. [7]
Along with her public work, Rikke Raben has created full-figure sculptures, busts, reliefs and medals for private clients.

Aage Niels Bohr was a Danish nuclear physicist who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975 with Ben Roy Mottelson and James Rainwater "for the discovery of the connection between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei and the development of the theory of the structure of the atomic nucleus based on this connection". His father was Niels Bohr.
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
The Niels Bohr Institute is a research institute of the University of Copenhagen. The research of the institute spans astronomy, geophysics, nanotechnology, particle physics, quantum mechanics, and biophysics.
Baroness Karen Christenze von Blixen-Finecke was a Danish author who wrote in Danish and English. She is also known under her pen names Isak Dinesen, used in English-speaking countries; Tania Blixen, used in German-speaking countries; Osceola, and Pierre Andrézel.
The culture of Denmark has a rich artistic and scientific heritage. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), the philosophical essays of Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), the short stories of Karen Blixen, penname Isak Dinesen, (1885–1962), the plays of Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754), modern authors such as Herman Bang and Nobel laureate Henrik Pontoppidan and the dense, aphoristic poetry of Piet Hein (1905–1996), have earned international recognition, as have the symphonies of Carl Nielsen (1865–1931). From the mid-1990s, Danish films have attracted international attention, especially those associated with Dogme 95 like those of Lars Von Trier. Denmark has had a strong tradition of movie making and Carl Theodor Dreyer has been recognised as one of the world's greatest film directors. The astronomical discoveries of Tycho Brahe (1546–1601), Ludwig A. Colding's (1815–1888) neglected articulation of the principle of conservation of energy, and the foundational contributions to atomic physics of Niels Bohr (1885–1962); in this century Lene Vestergaard Hau in quantum physics involving the stopping of light, advances in nano-technology, and contributions to the understanding of Bose-Einstein Condensates, demonstrate the range and endurance of Danish scientific achievement.
