It’s rainy and grey in Copenhagen today, but here’s a splash of colour.
Verner Panton really did, and still does brighten up our world!
12th Feb – It’s a kids world at Arken.
A few days ago ARKEN Museum for Moderne Kunst opened an enormous installation for kids age 3-12.
The space ( The Model ) is designed by the danish artist Palle Nielsen.
It sounds amazing!
Below is a link to the practical information about the exhibit. What it contains, costs and the opening times.

11th Feb – Happy Birthday Arne Jacobsen!
Arne Jacobsen (11. februar 1902 – 24. marts 1971)
A Copenhagen designer through and through….He really did leave his mark on this beautiful city.
10th Feb – Copenhagen – Bryggebroen Love Locks
It’s Valentine week!
Couples lock their padlocks to the wires on the bridge and then throw the keys into the water as a sign of unbreakable love.
8th Feb – Change of address for Experimentarium.
Yesterday saw the opening of Experimentarium city. The Hellerup home of the Copenhagen science museum is being renovated, so they have temporarily housed the bulk of the collection in this new prime location address! Just down from the Opera House and opposite the Playhouse.
So if you are heading in from out of town…..for the next couple of years….wave at the Tuborg bottle and keep heading south!
7th Feb – Regnbuepladsen (the Rainbow Square) it is!
Hailing the liberal spirit of Copenhagen and the city’s role in the fight for equal rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgender…consensus sees a square just down from the town hall named Regnbuepladsen (the Rainbow Square).
Wishing everyone a colourful weekend out there!
