Summer at DAC
Are you visiting Copenhagen this summer? Come and learn about architecture and design. We offer lots of fun for the entire family.
Danish Architecture Center invites you to join us for exciting architectural experiences. Feel how architecture can influence our senses in the exhibition, Aware. And if you’re bringing kids along, visit our weekend workshop Mirror Magic, where you can challenge your senses, make beautiful kaleidoscopes and other fun activities with mirrors.
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.
