Christmas at the Workers' Museum

Step into the warm-hearted Christmas spirit in the workers' oldest assembly building in the heart of Copenhagen. The classic exhibition from the 1950s has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. Every day there is a treasure hunt for the youngest visitors, traditional Christmas tree parties, Christmas performances, and an entertaining game of Christmas bingo on selected Thursdays—all for a charitable cause. Step into the past and enjoy the nostalgic charm of Christmas in this historical setting.

Location: Rømersgade 22 1362 København K

Sophienholm and Sophienholm Park: New Light '23

The exhibition at the park brings the nature around Sophienholm to life and conveys sensory art experiences. The darkness of the winter months acts as a mysterious canvas that elegantly highlights the radiant artworks. Art lovers can look forward to experiencing light works created by talented artists such as Katja Bjørn, Julian Juhlin, Simon Hjermind Jensen, Louis Scherfig, Astrid Gjesing, and Pernille Egeskov. Immerse yourself in a visual feast where art and nature merge.

Frederiksborg Castle: Magical Attic Works

Join an enchanting journey through national myths, Greek mythology, and the overwhelming starry sky, as Frederiksborg Castle and the Danish artist collective Dark Matters come together to present a unique staging of six iconic ceilings at the castle.

Dark Matters is known for their impressive and artistic light installations, and this time they will transform the national romantic Renaissance ceilings into true works of art. Step into a magical world where art and history merge in a spectacular exhibition of light and mythology.
