We are building the new exhibition
Our exhibitions will be closed to the public from Monday, September 16 through Sunday, October 6. The DAC Design Shop will remain open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. We look forward to reopening on Monday, October 7, in celebration of World Architecture Day, featuring our new fall exhibition Water is Coming and the relaunch of So Danish! with new additions to the exhibition.
During the closure period, we recommend visiting the Museum of Copenhagen, which was recently named Best Museum in the City 2024 by Berlingske. It’s located just 450 meters from DAC. You can explore their current exhibitions here
World Architecture Day
We’re offering free admission and a host of special events on World Architecture Day. The day is celebrated worldwide on the first Monday in October. At DAC, an otherwise dull Monday has turned into a true festive occasion – with over 3,000 visitors.
This year, we’re celebrating World Architecture Day with the opening of the new, large exhibition Water is Coming and the reopening of the popular So Danish! exhibition.

Water is Coming
October 7 2024 – March 23 2025
The exhibition shows what kind of reality we look into when the water comes. Should we pull away from the coast? Should we entrench ourselves or should we live with the water? How do we avoid devastating floods?
So Danish!
Denmark’s national gallery of architecture
Opens on October 7 in a new and re-curated version
So Danish! is Danish Architecture Center’s first permanent exhibition on Danish architecture. The exhibition unfolds the history of Danish architecture from the Viking Age to present day and gives you the opportunity to travel into the architecture and understand how absolutely vital it is to our democratic society.
Teenage Dreams
June 12, 2024 – January 5, 2025
The exhibition Teenage Dreams offers a glimpse into the future of teenage bedrooms. Designing for teenagers means designing for a generation whose values will shape our future. Experience three installations by talented young Danish designers. These installations offer insights into how contemporary challenges impact and alter teenagers’ needs and desires for their personal spaces.

Fall at DAC
Darkness is setting in, along with rain and colder days. The Danish Architecture Center invites everyone to a wet and wonderful fall filled with exciting architectural experiences.
Explore our new exhibition Water Is Coming, where we dive into where and how we should live when the water truly arrives. You can also visit So Danish!, which is reopening with even more architectural history and design. If you have children with you, stop by our family workshop, where you can help the fish by creating fish hotels and building solutions like a LEGO® architect to plan where we should live when the water comes.
The City Map
Start your exploration of Copenhagen’s architecture on the floor just beneath BLOX. Here, you can walk around on a gigantic aerial photo of the city and get a complete overview. At the same time, it gives you the feeling of being a giant, stomping around – high above the city.
