Get around the exhibitions

Age of Nature

The exhibition Age of Nature takes place in Forum. Take the elevator to level U2 to begin at the exhibition introduction or use the main staircase.

The exhibition is designed with wide pathways and an even floor surface, making it accessible for wheelchair users. Please note that access to the installations Woven Architecture and Habitable Skin is limited, as the entrances are narrow and the spaces inside are small. There are no tactile guiding lines in the exhibition area. Texts and films are positioned at standing or seated height, though some screens and object labels are small and may be difficult to read for visitors with visual impairments. Braille is not provided in the exhibition.

All information is available in both Danish and English. Films are shown either in Danish or English with English subtitles. Please note that the audio in the film Life on Earth is low and may be difficult to hear.

The exhibition contains a large amount of reading material. Font sizes generally follow standard guidelines, though in some places smaller text is used, which may be harder to read. Lighting primarily consists of spotlights combined with natural daylight, which may affect guests who are sensitive to light. In addition, some neon tubes are installed that create reflections on the floor, which may be disturbing for light-sensitive visitors. Background music and sound effects play throughout the exhibition, and the films Public Space at Notre Dame and Liam Young include loud sounds. Visitors sensitive to noise are advised to bring earplugs.

Seating areas are available throughout the exhibition for guests who wish to take a break. At some installations - including Life on Earth and Weave with Nature - the seating is placed at floor level. Using the furniture requires full mobility, but the works can still be experienced without sitting down. The exhibition concludes with access to the elevator.

Meet Me Here

The exhibition Meet Me Here is a smaller exhibition shown in the Stair Gallery, a five-landing exhibition space. The exhibition begins on the top landing, which can be accessed via the escalator or the Rainbow Stairs from Forum. We recommend starting your visit here, but the exhibition can also be accessed through the DAC Design Shop. There is no elevator to the starting point of the exhibition. Three of the four landings can be accessed via a lift from the DAC Design Shop, but the lift only goes to the landing called A Little Hello, meaning the upper part of the exhibition – including the Photo Booth – is not accessible. The lift measures 100 cm x 77 cm. If your wheelchair does not fit, DAC offers a loaner wheelchair. This also applies to guests with limited mobility. To reserve a wheelchair, please contact welcome@dac.dk no later than 12:00 the day before your visit. All landings are carpeted, which may make navigation difficult with a wheelchair or stroller. Spotlights are used in several areas, which may be challenging for light-sensitive visitors. The landings do not feature guiding lines. Exhibition texts are available in both Danish and English. Braille is not available.

The top landing can only be accessed via stairs or escalator. The lift does not serve the top landing due to technical limitations. This is where the introductory text to the exhibition is located, along with the Photo Booth, where visitors can take a free photo. The Photo Booth is lit with extra-bright light to ensure photo quality, which may be disturbing for light-sensitive visitors.The second landing, titled A Little Hello, has a bench in the center of the room, which may limit mobility for wheelchair users. Both light and sound are used on this landing, which may be overstimulating for guests sensitive to sensory input. The third landing, A Trace in the Space, is spacious and accessible for wheelchair users. Two video pieces are shown here featuring bright light and white noise, which may be uncomfortable for some visitors.The fourth landing, Physical Presence, is also accessible for wheelchair users. A video installation with strong, moving light is displayed here, which may affect guests who are sensitive to light. As in the rest of the exhibition, texts are available in Danish and English, but not in Braille.

At the very bottom – where the DAC Slide ends – is a wall that is also part of the exhibition. Here, guests can take or scan a slip of paper. This section is accessible to all. One part of the installation is placed high on the wall and may not be reachable for wheelchair users.

So Danish!

The exhibition is in the Golden Gallery on Level U1. Use the stairs up from the DAC Design Shop or take the elevator.

The exhibition starts on the landing in front of the Golden Gallery. If you use the elevator, you should start your visit on the landing and read the introduction to the exhibition. You can also take an audio-guide from here. The audio-guide will guide you through all the exhibition in Danish or English. Start by selecting the language when you take the guide.

You activate the guide throughout the exhibition every time you go past a small transmitter marked on the wall. If you are partially sighted, it can be a little difficult to see the small transmitters.

The So Danish! exhibition is rather dense, with many exhibits. When there are many guests the room can feel very crowded, and it may also be difficult to move around the exhibition in a wheelchair. We recommend that you visit one of the other exhibitions and come back a little later.

The exhibition contains a lot of text and photos. All text is in both Danish and English.

Return the audio-guide when you leave the So Danish! exhibition. It is not part of the other exhibitions.
