kulturnatten

A Night of Culture in Copenhagen

On October 15th, a total of more than 200 museums, churches, exhibition halls, galleries, political institutions, and other venues all over the city will open their doors, reflecting the broad cultural landscape of Copenhagen. Night of Culture has been an annual Copenhagen event siden 1993

Last year, I attended the same event when I was visiting Dk in October.  It is a truly special night---crowded to the point of annoyance--with an extra 60K people in Copenhagen (and surrounding neighborhoods) for the night.  With a button and ticket you get free transportation (bus, train, metro) for the entire night.  The various ministries, military, police, museums, libraries, universities, etc etc all over the city contribute to the events.  There were around 500 this year.
