Denmark is well known for its long tradition of quality modern furniture, high end traditional crafts, applied and industrial arts, cool architecture and innovative design. Especially the designers of the 1950’s paved the way and today Danish design and architecture, continuously evolving, is renowned all over the world. 1. DESIGNMUSEUM DENMARK 2. FINN JUHL’S HOUSE 3. NORDHAVN 4. DANISH FASHION 5. DANISH ARCHITECTURE CENTRE

Written by Anne-Sofie Stampe Illustrated by Sine Jensen 1. DECADES OF DANISH MODERN Designmuseum Danmark is the place to go if you wish to explore the history of Danish design up until today. Apart from the permanent exhibition, showing furniture and everyday objects by people like Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Børge Mogensen, and many others, the museum’s special exhibition Century of the Child is definitely worth a visit, both with and without children by your side. Every Sunday the museum offers free guided tours in English beginning at 14.00. (designmuseum.dk) 2. DESIGN AND FUNCTION Another beloved Danish designer is architect Finn Juhl, famous for his design of the Trusteeship Council Chamber at the UN building in New York, and for his beautiful and functional furniture from the 1950s. Finn Juhl’s house, which opened its doors to the public in 2008, was built in 1942 and is now a permanent part of Ordrupgaard Museum, an art museum located in a grand villa set in a park just north of Copenhagen. Finn Juhl’s former home is decorated with a collection of his own furniture, as well as Juhl’s personal collection of modern and applied art. Ordrupgaard Museum was granted an extension in 2005, created by star architect Zaha Hadid. Inside this spectacular and beautiful piece of contemporary architecture it is a pleasure to enjoy a light lunch or homemade cake in the museum café. (ordrupgaard.dk) 3. THE BIRTH OF A NEW CITY DISTRICT As any big city in the world, Copenhagen is developing fast. Next to historical neighbourhoods, new ones are rising. Nordhavn is a new waterfront city district being built right now. When completed, Nordhavn will have room for 40.000 residents and an equal number of work places. Between huge cranes and lit up building sites, a new part of Copenhagen is coming to life. Nordhavn is also home to Paustian, an exclusive design shop, and the showrooms of Gubi furniture design and fabric designers Kvadrat, as well as the auction house Bruun Rasmussen, filled with collectible design and art, old and new, from all over the world.

4. HOME OF FASHION Copenhagen and Denmark are home to many great fashion designers, from the cool, Scandinavian simplicity of Bruuns Bazaar to the colourful bohemian style of Stine Goya, and the extravagant and art-like design of Henrik Vibskov. When it comes to jewellery, you may already know of the silver ware of Georg Jensen and the charms of Pandora, but if you’re looking for lesser internationally known Danish jewellery, visit Marianne Dulong’s exclusive shop just off Strøget, or the one man business, Handcrafted Cph, whose jewellery is very affordable. They all have shops available in Copenhagen. (bruunsbazaar.com / stinegoya.com / henrikvibskov.com / georgjensen.com / pandora. net / mariannedulong.dk / handcraftedcph.dk) 5. COOL NORDIC ARCHITECTURE If you’re into architecture and urban development, the Danish Architecture Centre is the place to go. The DAC is housed in an old warehouse building with a café overlooking the harbour and well worth a visit all by itself. The next special exhibition opens June 19th showing that of course Denmark doesn’t stand alone when it comes to cool Nordic architecture. The exhibition is about the Norwegian architect firm Snøhetta, who have designed some of the great architecture of our times, such as the magnificent opera house in Oslo and the expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.

–Margrethe Vestager

Between Science and Art Besides a reputation of being quite the accomplished knitter, Margrethe Vestager is a leading Danish politician. As EU Competition Commissioner, Margrethe Vestager has recently attracted widespread international attention for taking on Google in one of the highest profile ongoing antitrust cases in the EU. In her spare time, the former Danish Minister of Economy enjoys going to museums whenever she can, counting Napoleon’s stuffed camel as one of the many remarkable museum experiences at the top of her list. Interviewed by Fanan Imad I grew up in Jutland but my paternal grandmother lived on Zealand. When I used to visit her during school holidays, we would go on trips to Copenhagen. Naturally we would visit the amusement park, Tivoli Gardens, but we would also always spend time at the National Museum of Denmark. As a result, I’ve experienced the development of the museum first hand through many years. Even back then I used to think it was an amazing place, partly because it was such a great big building. I remember the first time I saw a bog body there, going into the display

room and looking at this man that had been lying in a bog for thousands of years. I found it such an odd experience! The National Museum of Denmark is definitely worth a visit. The museum excels in interpreting and presenting the history of Denmark in such a way, that it may be accessible and easy to understand for everyone. - I’ve been going to museums since I was a child. I practically grew up next to a museum, Hjedding Dairy Museum, which was once the first co-operative dairy company in Denmark, and the Ølgod Museum of Local History was located right next to our town library, where we used to spend a great deal of time during my childhood. So I grew up with museums, and still love going to museums, whenever I get the chance, especially if I don’t have too much time to linger, but can keep coming back for more. - I had the most remarkable experience at ARoS (Aarhus Art Museum) once, on a visit with my youngest daughter about two years ago. It was an installation by the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson where you walk through coloured fog. It was exceptional. We could barely see each other. The fog turned into hues of magenta or yellow as we moved about, and we completely lost our sense of orientation. We didn't know where we were, or whether we’d ever get out again. It was a very unique experience. - I also had a great museum experience with my family one year on a holiday in France. We had sailed out to a small island called Île-d’Aix, just off the west coast of France. It’s a tiny, fortified island where Napoleon famously visited. So there’s a Napoleon Museum. But there’s also an African Museum, Musée africain de l'île d'Aix, with zoological and ethnological artefacts, including the camel Napoleon supposedly rode during his campaign in Egypt! It’s a classic old-fashioned museum with exhibition cases presenting stuffed animals carefully lined up on the African savannah. I would absolutely recommend everyone to visit this place, it’s an amazing museum experience because it’s as old school as it could possibly get. What we thought was particularly striking, and thought-provoking and exciting, was their dodo bird, even though the dodo became extinct hundreds of years ago! At the museum, they had made a reconstruction of a dodo as they thought it #cphmuseums and share your museum experience!

would have looked; a fake taxidermy created with parts and feathers from other birds. Being a museum of natural history, based on science and facts, it’s such a peculiar thing to come across a sort of performance, a staging or work of art, in the middle of it all. I think it’s a great illustration of the fact that museums not only show things as they are and were, but also constructs certain ideas of how things are and were. And I think that’s a really good thing to be reminded of once in a while.

“

If you’re into contemporary art you should visit The National Museum of Photography at The Black Diamond – The Royal Library or the National Gallery of Denmark. The local history of smaller suburbs is exhibited at Greve Museum, Ballerup City Museum and Helsingør City Museum. And if you want to explore natural history go see the exhibition The Body Collected at Medical Museion. cphmuseums.com

I want to recommend the Open Air Museum (Frilandsmuseet) at Brede, just north of Copenhagen. It gives you a special insight and understanding of the history of Denmark. And it’s located in the most beautiful natural surroundings. You can wander at random among the old houses and put your imagination into use. I really enjoy it!

Go for a walk in Hans Tavsens Park on Nørrebro and then head off to Gilt, a short walk away on Rantzausgade, for the best cocktails in the city!

Believed by many to be the Paris of Scandinavia, you will find plenty of romantic settings and possibilities in and around the Danish capital. Whether exploring the charmingly bohemian streets of Copenhagen’s very own Latin Quarter, affectionately known as Pisserenden by locals (the Pissoir!), or strolling along the sandy beaches of North Zealand, only a short train ride away north of Copenhagen, you’re sure to fall in love – if not with that special someone, then certainly with the magic of the surroundings. 1. The Royal Library Garden 2. Exhibition: Kierkegaard: Objects of Love, Works of Love, Museum of Copenhagen 3. The Karen Blixen Museum 4. Hørsholm Palace Gardens 5. Royal Summer Ballet

Written by Fanan Imad Illustrated by Sine Jensen 1. A MOMENT OF QUIET AT THE ROYAL LIBRARY GARDEN This surprisingly peaceful inner courtyard garden, an undisturbed retreat in the heart of the city, is one of Copenhagen’s best-kept secrets. Get away from the hustle and bustle of busy streets and scenery, and enjoy instead a romantic picnic in the shade of majestic trees. Brimming with flowers in the summer months, the Royal Library Garden is the perfect spot to hold hands and gaze into your loved one’s eyes. Placed opposite the Danish Jewish Museum, and just around the corner from Christiansborg Palace, the Black Diamond and the Lapidarium of Kings, the garden is also an ideal stopover to rest your weary feet in between sightseeing and visiting museums. (kb.dk, jewmus. dk, christiansborg.dk, kongerneslapidarium.dk). 2. SØREN KIERKEGAARD’S OBJECTS OF LOVE Considered the original existentialist, Danish philosopher and author Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is widely regarded as one of the most important scholars of the 19th century. At the Museum of Copenhagen, you can get acquainted with Kierkegaard’s thoughts on love, and admire some of his few surviving personal possessions. The exhibition, Kierkegaard: Objects of Love, Works of Love, examines the philosopher’s understanding of love and combines it with stories and objects donated by fellow Copenhageners of today (copenhagen.dk) . 3. LOVE AND LOSS AT THE KAREN BLIXEN MUSEUM Famous for her memoir Out of Africa, recounting her years as a coffee farmer in Kenya, adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1985 starring Meryl Streep, Danish author Karen Blixen (1885-1962) is one of the most influential figures in Danish literary history. Also known by her pen name Isak Dinesen, Blixen’s African adventure was a chronicle of love and loss. Blixen began a decade-long love affair with English army pilot, Denys Finch Hatton, who was killed in a tragic plane crash shortly after their break-up. Blixen’s family residence, Rungstedlund, now the Karen Blixen Museum, just north of Copenhagen, is well worth a visit. This is where Blixen spent 16

most of her childhood as well as her last years. The property overlooks the sea and includes a beautiful garden and a bird sanctuary, perfect for a walk on a breezy summer day (blixen.dk). 4. ROMANTIC STROLL AT HØRSHOLM PALACE GARDENS Built in the 18th century, Hirschholm Palace was known as one of the finest buildings of its time, the Versailles of the North. The palace later developed a notorious reputation in connection with its role in the affair between Struensee and Queen Caroline Matilda in the 1770s. After that, the palace fell into despair and was finally demolished in 1810. The only reminders of its existence today are the beautiful surrounding park and gardens. Hørsholm Palace Gardens are still the perfect setting for a romantic stroll. With alleys lined with trees, swans floating on the lake and the church bells of Hørsholm Church still ringing, it is as lovely as a dream come true. The Gardens are located north of Copenhagen, only twenty minutes away from Copenhagen by public transportation, and right across from the Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry and Hørsholm Museum of Local History, as well as being close to the Karen Blixen Museum (jagtskov.dk, museumns.dk, blixen.dk). 5. GETTING COSY WITH THE ROYAL SUMMER BALLET For the 10th year in a row, the Danish Royal Ballet will embark on a free open air tour across the country. To celebrate the opening of a new season, the Danish Royal Ballet will present excerpts from its repertoire. Make sure to bring a picnic blanket and a bottle of wine, and enjoy the show! On 15 June at 19.00 o’clock, the Royal Summer Ballet will take place at Esrum Abbey & Mill farm, a Cistercian abbey founded in 1151, which in itself is a charming destination for an outing outside of Copenhagen (kglteater.dk, esrum.dk).

The Lakes of Copenhagen: FROM FORTIFICATION TO RECREATION

The characteristic line of dammed lakes running east to south-west just north of the old ramparts of Copenhagen, serving as both fortification and water supply since the middle ages, are today a most treasured recreational area for locals and visitors alike. Written by Thomas Kokholm Photographed by HEIN Photography Unlikely to feature on most tourists’ checklists, one of the landmarks that visitors to Copenhagen might end up appreciating most, are the Lakes, or Søerne, as they are commonly called by locals.

A curious series of rectangular lakes, running from east to south-west, in certain places giving the illusion of a river running through the city, play an important role for both environment and culture in Copenhagen, and are impossible to miss by anyone navigating this area of town. You either go around or across them, and at Dronning Louise’s Bridge, connecting Nørrebrogade with Frederiksborggade, just north of Nørreport and Torvehallerne, people stay half way, the bridge itself a popular meeting place for especially young people enjoying the light and freshness coming of the water, and the sweet crêpes and warm coffees sold from the vans and carts, and music from mobile sound systems, further adding to the vibrant open air atmosphere.

During summer, the paths and streets running around the edges of the lakes, especially along the north side, and up through the charming side streets leading off from here, provide the area with popular outdoor coffee spots, vendors of craft beer, wine bars and eateries, while in cold winters, the water surface transforms into vast shiny skating rinks. Copenhagen’s lakes attract joggers all year round, and perhaps most importantly, act as a useful compass for newcomers. But how did this characteristic part of the city become what it is today? For the answer, we need to look deep into Copenhagen’s past history. Bishop Absalon of Roskilde founded Copenhagen in 1167, after having been given the land by King Valdemar The Great, endorsing the construction of a castle at the site where Christiansborg Palace, the seat of Danish Parliament, stands today. Back then, Roskilde to the west was Denmark’s important city and this part of Zealand was referred to only as Port or Harbour (Havn), but all that changed, as the new settlements grew under the watchful eye of the church, eventually becoming known as Merchants’ Port (København). Copenhagen’s importance grew throughout the middle ages until King Christoffer of Bayern

made the city his official town of residence in 1443, and Copenhagen became the main city of Denmark. During the 1600s, especially with the introduction of absolutism in 1660, Copenhagen, which by then had become the property of the king again, was developed even further, with all major administrative bodies of the nation brought together to settle here. NECESSARY DIVERSIONS Copenhagen was defined by its ramparts. Immediately outside the city walls lay man-made moats, the remains of which can be seen in Tivoli Gardens, at the Botanical Gardens and in H.C. Ørsted’s Park today. Just beyond these fortifications, cattle grazed peacefully on green pastures, and further northwest, almost one kilometre outside the city, near Bispeengen (Bishop’s Medow), a small stream flowed through an ancient river valley, the water of which would later be brought into the city, and become the lakes we see today. Copenhagen was established without any major natural fresh water bodies, as there were none immediately nearby, and drinking water had to come from wells. During the middle ages a need for waterways strong enough to power mills arose. The small stream of water at Bispeengen was now directed towards the city. Before being used to fill up the moats, the water was collected in the first of the three lakes, Peblinge Sø (Student Lake). Meanwhile, several outer lying water sources were redirected to join the original Bispeengen stream, with Utterslev Mose and Gentofte Lake, even further north, being added to the city’s supply after streams from both were formed into Emdrup Lake. PROTECTING THE CITY Following the siege of 1523, Copenhagen’s water system went through a complete overhaul to strengthen its role as fortification. It was decided that the moats should be deepened. These were uneasy times, dominated by religious struggles between the Catholic Church and followers of the new Lutheran doctrine, concluded finally in 1536 when Denmark officially became protestant. The capacity of Peblinge Sø was increased with the introduction of a new lake, Sortedam Sø (Black Dam Lake), with the later addition of Fredensbro (Peace Bridge) in 1878.

cphmuseums.com

During the 1570s, in an attempt to the growing need for fresh drinking water, King Christian IV had several pressure lines built into the ground to allow natural spring water, available from Emdrup Lake, to be fed directly into the public fountains of the city. By the early 1600s, Christian IV had facilitated a further enlargement of the lakes southwards from Peblinge Sø, forming the last of the lakes, Skt Jørgens Sø (St George’s Lake), named after a hospital for lepers, residing on this spot from 1261 to 1524, that in strict accordance with medieval tradition had once been built far outside the city walls. The lakes now covered a large area, supplying the moats with water, protecting the city and carrying away its sewage. Aligned with the outer waterways to the south and east of the city, the lakes had become an important part of the external fortification line, almost forming a complete circle of water around Copenhagen. THE LAKES TODAY Between 1705 and 1727 the lakes were cleaned and their edges straightened an in 1812 they were finally nationalised. Soon the government was swamped with complaints about the quality

of water, particularly drinking water pumped directly from the lakes. In 1853, a serious cholera epidemic struck, killing almost 5.000 citizens out of a population of about 130.000 people, and the lakes were gradually phased out as a source of drinking water, in 1859, becoming instead an area for recreation and a sanctuary for wild birds. At the same time a growing amount of Danes were arriving at the city gates. For military reasons, it had been forbidden to build outside of the lakes but inside the city conditions were becoming increasingly cramped and decidedly unhealthy. With the military significance of Copenhagen’s historic ramparts finally coming to an end in the latter part of the 19th century, matched with the urgent need for living quarters and better facilities, the new housing developments, beyond the lakes, that we now know as Østerbro, Nørrebro and Vesterbro, were built. The Lakes had finally been transformed into the distinctive topographical landmark recognised as an important part of Copenhagen’s inviting charm today.

Copenhagen is packed with kids and the city is safe and child-friendly, with more and more young families choosing to stay in town, making Copenhagen and its surroundings increasingly rich on activities for kids - and we all know that if our kids are happy, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy! The following highlights will guide you to places where both children and their parents will be well entertained. 1. Exhibition: Robot, The Danish National Museum of Science and Technology 2. Playing in Art 3. The Viking Ship Museum 4. Exhibition: The Brain, Experimantarium City 5. Copenhagen Street Food

Written by Anne-Sofie Stampe Illustrated by Sine Jensen 1. BLEEP BLEEP Who didn’t fall for the tiny cute robot, R2D2, in the movie Star Wars? At the Danish Museum of Science and Technology in Elsinore, north of Copenhagen, you can explore the world of robots. The exhibition shows different types of mechanical individuals, from Schwarzenegger’s scary Terminator to the endearing therapeutic baby seal Paro. Learn more about industrial robots that take on human jobs, and even build your own robot! Admission: 65 DKK / Children and young adults under 18: Free (tekniskmuseum.dk) 2. PLAYING IN ART Copenhagen has lots of nice playgrounds hiding in between apartment buildings and everyday life. Some of these playgrounds have been treated with a little extra love and care in the form of the creative touch of contemporary Danish artists. It’s great to enjoy your children playing while having something interesting to look at, at the same time. Take a peep at the sculptural playground at Nikolaj Plads, in the heart of Copenhagen, designed by artist duo Randi & Katrine, or the playground that looks like a crazy, red living room at Østre Anlæg behind the National Gallery (SMK), made by artist Nina Saunders, or visit the colourful playground at Balders Plads on Nørrebro, designed by artist Tanja Rau, or the sculptural playground at Blågårds Plads, also Nørrebro, designed by artist Eva Steen Christensen. 3. BE A VIKING Denmark and Scandinavia are known for their Vikings. At the spectacular Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, you can spend hours with both the original preserved vessels, kept inside the Viking Ship Hall, as well as authentic replicas available outside on the waters of Roskilde fjord. Apart from the magnificent ships themselves, the museum presents the fascinating story of the Nordic Vikings, easily captivating both kids and adults. There are plenty of activities and workshops and daily family tours. Visit the boatyard, meet the boat-builders and see their tools. Try your hand at Viking Age crafts, make food like the Vikings or dress up and train to be a Viking warrior or learn to write your names in runic letters (vikingeskibsmuseet.dk). 24

4. CHALLENGE THE BRAIN With the exhibition The Brain at Experimentarium City in Copenhagen, visitors are offered a wide range of experiments and activities designed to pull the brain out of familiar routines and challenge it to do a mental workout! Take the test and see how good your memory is, and how well you are able to concentrate without getting distracted. Discover whether your senses actually fool you by manipulating your brain. Step onto the bridge that leads through the tunnel and feel how it wobbles beneath your feet, or does it? Families visiting Experimentarium City are guaranteed plenty of laughs and games, while learning something new about the brain at the same time (experimentarium.dk). 5. RELAXED EATING Right next to Experimentarium City you’ll find Copenhagen’s new and popular covered market, Copenhagen Street Food. In this authentic raw old factory building, 33 different street kitchens and food trucks from countries all around the globe are lined up, offering every kind of food imaginable from all over the planet. It’s very informal and relaxed, with tables, chairs and benches free to use, inside and out. There is plenty of room for children to roam, and if the food should somehow end up elsewhere than in the kids’ mouths, don’t worry, because you’re more or less outside and there are no table cloths. While enjoying your foods and beverages, you may like to look across the view of the water front at some of the exciting newer architecture built there in recent years. (copenhagenstreetfood.dk)

–David Zahle

Museums as Places of Social Interaction Architect David Zahle is a partner at internationally acclaimed BIG and responsible for the recently completed Danish Maritime Museum, designed around an abandoned dry dock in Elsinore and named as one of the New York Times ‘Places to Go’ in 2014. A passionate advocate for the significance of museums in modern society, Zahle has a soft spot for museums that blur the lines between architecture and art. Interviewed by Fanan Imad Museums are some of the most important institutions for understanding our past as well as our present and therefore indicators of where we are headed in the future. Museums as institutions have changed a great deal and are increasingly becoming the living rooms of our cities. People meet and spend time there, not only for the benefit of cultural education but just as much to enjoy a space where people can come together and interact socially. Consequently, museums are some of the most interesting buildings to work with, as an architect, because they require 26

cphmuseums.com

a great deal of understanding regarding the role of museums in general, as well as a very specific knowledge about art, history and culture, and also because they create the possibility of influencing the city that people live in. Museum buildings have often historically been some of the most ambitious and generous works of architecture out there; a real challenge for an architect, where you really get to show off your abilities. - The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek art museum has a special place in my heart. It's a very traditional and historically important building, but it also contains this green space, at its centre, the amazing winter garden. In addition to this, the Glyptotek has successfully managed to renew itself with a well-executed extension, designed by architect Henning Larsen. There is a natural flow to the building, where you walk along the periphery and there are these hidden treasuries you have to enter, like small appendixes. The Glyptotek really is a place of high quality architecture and skilled workmanship. - A couple of years ago, I visited some small islands in Japan. There’s this billionaire art lover and philanthropist there, Soichoro Fukutake, president of the Benesse Art Site Naoshima, who instead of donating money to the declining industries of the islands, set up these museums and art projects to help support the local economy. He’s created quite a tourist attraction. On the island of Teshima there's the Teshima Art Museum. It’s a combination between architecture and art created by architect Ryue Nishizawa, one of the partners of the architectural firm SANAA, in close collaboration with artist Rei Naito. The museum structurally resembles a giant water droplet, cast in a thin white concrete shell. It’s no more than five metres high but approximately as wide as the Pantheon in Rome. It’s probably the most magical piece of architecture I have ever experienced. Naoshima, an island close by, is home to the Art House Project where old vacant houses are transformed into works of art by artists. Again, it’s the complete merging of architecture and art. Minamidera is one of the houses, designed by architect Tadao Ando and housing a work of art by light artist James Turrell. You sit in silence in a room engulfed by complete darkness. It was so

dark, it took me at least ten minutes for my eyes to adjust, and then I could only just about discern a tiny source of light. But then, all of a sudden, you vaguely begin to be able to make out the other people in the room. You see them getting up and walking around, almost like ghosts or shadows in the darkness. It was an incredible experience. - The Danish Maritime Museum has been of great significance, not only to myself, having lead the project from start to finish, but also for BIG, as it's the first ever actual museum build-

ing we've done. It’s a remarkable construction, with the transformation of an old dry dock into a modern museum built below ground level, emphasizing how much you get in return if you enter into a dialogue with the history of location and the surrounding area. Also the paradox of wanting to build a museum that attracts an audience but at the same time not allowing it to extend even one metre above ground, which means you’re basically building a basement. The challenge for us was to build an invisible iconic building, and that’s quite an assignment!

If you have the hots for architecture, visit the Danish Architecture Centre. Copenhagen’s impressive museum buildings are many: Visit Christiansborg Palace or The Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle for their great royal history, or enjoy the odd angles at The Danish Jewish Museum designed by world famous architect Daniel Liebeskind. If you’re interested in seafaring you can sail the fjord at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde or visit Skibsklarergaarden in Helsingør.

The kingdom of Denmark is the oldest monarchy in Europe still in existence, dating back to King Gorm the Old, who ruled here in the 10th century. Did you know that Prince Henrik, Prince Consort and husband of reigning Queen Margrethe of Denmark, is the author of several books of poetry and even a couple of cookbooks? 1. Exhibition: H.M. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark 1940-2015, Museum of National History 2. Exhibition: Thorvaldsen & the Royal Court Thorvaldsen’s Museum 3. Christiansborg Palace 4. The Royal Smuchi Café 5. Changing of the Guard

Written by Fanan Imad Illustrated by Sine Jensen 1. GOWNS AND ROBES The Danes love their queen, HM Queen Margrethe II, who has reigned the country since 1972. At the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle, north of Copenhagen, the different phases of Queen Margrethe’s life are traced back through her extensive wardrobe. On the occasion of HM the Queen’s 75th birthday, the exhibition HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark 1940-2015, showcases the important dresses and robes, from her christening robe through to her wedding dress to elaborate ball gowns. Built in the beginning of the 17th century by King Christian IV, Frederiksborg Castle is in itself worth a visit. Go for a stroll through the stunning castle gardens or enjoy a picnic in truly majestic scenery. Frederiksborg Castle is less than an hour away from the city centre, using public transportation, and well worth a visit (dnm.dk). 2. THORVALDSEN AT COURT Never mind Lars von Trier, Mads Mikkelsen or Michael Laudrup – sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) was the original Danish superstar. Thorvaldsen was Denmark’s first internationally famous artist, and created works of art for the Pope, Napoleon and many of the royal families in Europe. The exhibition Thorvaldsen & the Royal Court at Thorvaldsen’s Museum is about the many connections between the Danish Royal Family and Thorvaldsen. Had it not been for their royal inte-rest in his work, Thorvaldsen might not have been as internationally recognised as he is today (thorvaldsensmuseum.dk). 3. CHRISTIANSBORG PALACE Home to Denmark’s Parliament (Folketinget) and Supreme Court, Christiansborg Palace has been at the centre of power in the kingdom of Denmark for more than 800 years. Also housing the Palace Chapel, the Royal Reception Rooms and the Royal Stables, Christiansborg Palace is still used by the Danish royal family today. Take a walk through the Royal Stables and see the fascinating creatures up close, or stop by the grand Royal Reception Rooms used by the Queen for banquets and public audiences. Entrance to the Royal Stables and Royal Reception Rooms from the inner 32

palace courtyard, with Thorvaldsen’s Museum only a short walk away (christiansborg.dk). 4. SMUSHI AND TABLEWARE Feeling hungry? Stop by the Royal Smushi Café on Amagertorv in the centre of Copenhagen. The Café specialises in the concept of smushi, a fusion of sushi and the traditional Danish open sandwich, smørrebrød. Smørrebrød usually consists of a piece of dark rye bread topped with different toppings. Here it’s prepared in bite- sized mini versions piled in layers like sushi. Served on luxurious hand-painted china from Royal Copenhagen, purveyor to the Royal Danish Court, you’re sure to feel like a queen! If you find yourself falling for the delicate tableware, the Royal Copenhagen Flagship Store is available right next door (royalsmushicafe.dk). 5. MUSICAL GUARDS Every day at noon, visitors in town can witness the ceremonial changing of the Royal Guard in the cobble stoned courtyard of Amalienborg Palace, the residency of the Danish royal family in Copenhagen. The Royal Guard (Den Kongelige Livgarde), a regiment of the Danish army, has been protecting the royal family since 1658. Marching through the city streets with their bearskin hats, accompanied by the traditional tunes of the Royal Guard orchestra, you can’t help but think of the steadfast tin soldier in the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The parade of the Royal Guard starts off daily at around 11:30 from the entrance on Gothersgade at the barracks of the Royal Guard at Rosenborg Castle, near Nørreport station. If you can’t find them, just listen for the music of the marching band! (kongernessamling.dk)

There’s a really great buffet at the café at the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), which also offers a beautiful view across the park of Østre Anlæg. The way the new and the old building meet is magnificent, and in itself worth a visit!

Copenhagen can be an expensive city to visit, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discouraged, there are plenty of ways to save money and still have a great time in the Danish capital. With a little insider know-how you can experience Copenhagen at its best without blowing your budget. 1. The National Gallery of Denmark 2. Soup Kitchens 3. Christiania 4. The National Museum of Denmark 5. Netto-Boats Harbour Tour

Written by Fanan Imad Illustrated by Sine Jensen 1. ART Whether on a tight budget or not, the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) should definitely be on your list of places to visit in Copenhagen. Besides free admission to the permanent exhibitions, the museum offers free guided tours in English every Sunday in July, featuring highlights from the museum collections of art from early Renaissance over modern art to contemporary art. The museum building is an admirable architectural gem itself, connecting the original 1896 building with a large modernist extension, and surrounded by a recreational area and park. Located near the city centre, the National Gallery is Denmark's largest art museum with a diverse range of exhibitions and activities for visitors to explore, and a special creative workshop section for children. (smk.dk) 2. FOOD Danish soup kitchens have provided wholesome meals for the homeless and the poor since the First World War, but no longer exclusively service the underprivileged. The concept of the soup kitchen, or folk kitchen, as it is termed in Danish, has evolved. Now more closely linked to notions of community and principles of sustainability and local produce, rather than hardship and need. In Copenhagen, soup kitchens have become increasingly popular among students, young families and other city dwellers looking for a cheap, hearty meal. For prices at around 50 DKK, look up the following four soup kitchens: Café Le Rouge (Nørrebrohallen) Tuesdays 17.30-20.30 Bragesgade 5, Copenhagen N Støberiet Tuesdays 17.30-20.00 Blågårds Plads 5, 2 & 3, Copenhagen N KraftWerket Tuesdays 18:00 – Valgårdsvej 2, Valby Café N Fridays 18:00 – Blågårdsgade 17, Copenhagen N

3. ALTERNATIVE LIVING In 1971 a group of squatters on Christianshavn took over an old military base and set up the Freetown of Christiania. Politically acknowledged as a social experiment, the self-governing hippie commune now serves as a reminder of an alternative way of life. With a vibrant mix of colourful residents and dwellings, murals, playgrounds and open green areas, eateries, cafés, shops and art galleries, Christiania is a Copenhagen must-see, and one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Try one of the local cafés or take a stroll through the neighbourhood. Visit the infamous Pusher Street, where hash and marijuana were sold openly until 2004. Visitors of all ages are most welcome and the residents are friendly. All they ask is for visitors to not point their cameras at the people who live there, or at the shops and stalls, to avoid conflict. Christiania is sure to be an experience! (christiania.org) 4. HISTORY Delve into a wealth of cultural history at the National Museum of Denmark (Nationalmuseet), which holds artefacts of both national importance and from around the world, spanning more than 14,000 years, from the Stone Age and the Viking Age, through the Middle Ages to the present day. Housed in the Prince’s Palace, the museum building dates back to 1744, originally built as a residence for Crown Prince Frederik V. The National Museum caters for all ages and is free of charge. There’s even a special themed children’s museum on site, where children can dress up and play (natmus.dk). 5. WATERWAYS Hop on a boat and see the city from the waterfront. By far the cheapest harbour cruise, compared to their pricier counterparts, are the bright blue Netto-boats providing guided 60-minute boat tours of the waterways, harbour basins and canals of Copenhagen. Departure from Holmen's Church or Nyhavn at Heibergsgade, two to five times per hour all day. Adults: 40 DKK / Children (under 15): 15 DKK. (havnerundfart.dk)
