Culture Night for the whole family at DAC
Inspired by the new exhibition Cities for People, you can dance high above the city at a Silent Disco, get creative with Emma at Kreabix, roast marshmallows over the fire, or create your very own urban creature in the Family Workshop.
You can also explore our current exhibitions, take a ride down the DAC Slide, or enjoy a bowl at DAC Café. Outside, experience City Life City Light, a light installation created especially for Culture Night.
We’re filling DAC with light, play, music, and experiences for kids and adults alike, right in the heart of the city, with people at the center.
Here’s what you can experience
Emma's Kreabix: Build Your City from Rubbish
Build with Emma from Ramasjang’s Kreabix on Culture Night! Let your imagination run wild and transform rubbish and recycled materials into quirky buildings, green urban spaces and new ideas for the city.
Silent Disco on the roof
Come dance the night away at DAC’s Silent Disco on the rooftop, with views across the city’s rooftops and Copenhagen harbor. If it rains or gets too windy, we’ll move inside and keep dancing.
Design Your Own City Creature
What does a city creature look like, and what does it love most about the city? Stop by DAC's Educatorium and draw, cut, and sew your very own city creature using fabric, yarn, and other materials. Find inspiration in the playful shapes featured in the exhibition Cities for People - or invent a creature entirely your own.
Cozy Bonfires and Roasted Marshmallows
Join us for a cozy evening around the fire pits at Bryghuspladsen. Roast marshmallows and warm up by the small, inviting fires right in the heart of the city.
Light Installation: City Life, City Light
On Culture Night, experience the interactive light installation City Life City Light at Bryghuspladsen, right outside the entrance to DAC. Created by Circuit Circus, the installation uses data on movement and activity to generate shifting patterns of light.
Inspired by the exhibition Cities for People, the installation invites you to experience the city in a whole new way. The installation was created especially for Culture Night.
