AfterDAC – Architecture After Hours
AfterDAC is the Danish Architecture Center’s evening program, where we keep the building open a little longer and invite you to shared experiences with architecture at the center. Here, you’ll have the chance to see the exhibitions in a new light, learn something new in good company, and soak up the atmosphere at DAC as the city outside slows down and darkness falls.

The AfterDAC program takes on a new form each time
Some evenings feature conversations, while others offer film, music, or something entirely different – always with architecture and our shared surroundings at the center.

At AfterDAC, you'll meet a variety of hosts and guests. One recurring voice is architect and TV host Ane Cortzen, who, with her perspective on cities, art, and culture, helps spark conversations, ask the curious questions, and guide us toward understanding what architecture can – and should – do.

Take advantage of our evening openings and experience the special atmosphere in the building as night falls.
Enjoy the calm in the exhibitions, where our enthusiastic hosts are always up for a conversation, and soak in the evening vibe in the DAC Café, where you can enjoy dinner, a great cup of coffee – or why not try our signature drink, the DACnStormy?
AfterDAC is free with paid admission, but you’ll need to book your ticket in advance. DAC Club members can join for free, but they also need to reserve a ticket. Become a DAC Club member here.
