Water is coming is the first major Danish exhibition that explores and debates the planet’s water as an omnipresent, interconnected, life-giving substance: A system that forms the basis for all life and human civilization. A system whose balance is under threat! At Culture Night in DAC, we celebrate the newly opened exhibition with a world of water.
Build a floating house
Test building a house that can float on water with MAST architects, who specialize in just that. Can you build i multiple floors? Or will it tip over? Test your model on water and get tips on how to make it float. You can also experience the giant MAST’s installation of a floating seaweed house.
Dissect a mussel and become a marine scientist
Come and learn more about all the hidden wonders beneath the ocean’s surface together with the association Havhøst. You can, among other things, try dissecting a mussel and discover how it breathes. As a marine scientist, you’ll also determine the salinity of different water samples and learn to distinguish between various seaweed species.
Help the fish! Build fish hotels
It’s not just humans who swim in Copenhagen harbor. Fish also live beneath the surface, and they need more habitats. Come and help us design and build a large, communal fish hotel, which will later be submerged into the water for especially the small fish to enjoy. What should their new hiding place look like?
LEGO® architect
Have you ever thought about how we protect our cities from heavy rain and flooding? Come and build imaginative new solutions in a world full of water when DAC, in collaboration with LEGO Build the Change, invites you to become a LEGO Architect. Here, you can shape future solutions and build your dreams in LEGO.
Activities at Bryghuspladsen
Outside DAC at Bryghuspladsen, Realdania By & Byg will host a series of activities for Cultural Night. For example, you can join lessons in partner dances like bachata and west coast swing. For the kids, there will be a balloon artist and free face painting. Activities will end at 11 PM.
