If you are looking for a gift or something special to bring home, it also offers a fine assortment of Danish design objects.

Exploring architecture

The exhibitions change every 2-3 months and typically has either an overarching theme or a special focus on a Danish or international architect. The exhibitions generally explore what architecture means for us in our everyday life or in society as a whole. DAC seeks to communicate this in an interactive and engaging way that sometimes also make active use of the surrounding city space.

Tours and podwalks

Tours in the city is also part of the activities. When the sun starts shining in Copenhagen, DAC moves out into the city. The Sunday morning walks (in English) explore old or new parts of the city while telling stories about architecture and the lived life behind it.

If you want to explore the city on you own, you can find podwalks and podruns on DACs website that will take you on walking/running tour whilst telling you about the architecture you pass by. More events can be seen in DACs calendar.
