Free Admission to DAC During Day One Festival
Are you a new student in Copenhagen? During the Day One Festival, you can visit DAC for free and get to know your new city through Danish architecture, design, and urban life.

Every year, around 18,000 new students move to Copenhagen. Day One is the city's official welcome festival, where museums, cultural centers, and other cultural institutions invite new students to enjoy free experiences across the city.
As part of the festival, you can visit DAC free of charge on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with your Day One wristband. Explore So Danish!, where you'll discover the icons of Danish architecture and design while gaining fresh perspectives on the city you'll soon call home. You can also experience our current exhibition, Age of Nature, which explores how architecture and nature can work together to shape the sustainable cities of the future.
When you're ready for a break, relax with a cold drink and enjoy panoramic views of Copenhagen at DAC Rooftop Cafe.
