On Friday last
week there was a culture night here in Copenhagen, and all sorts of
places opened their doors for visitors. We spent all Friday night
exploring places around Copenhagen. The event was open until
midnight, and the town was full of people.
There were light
shows all over town, live music, all kinds of entertainment and
family fun getting acquainted with different cultural places, some of
which only opened their doors especially for this event. Even the
army had arrived with their tanks and their guns. The national
railway had a really nice display in a conference centre presenting
their new projects. We got free pop corn from them, which was a plus,
and they would've also had free coffee and hot chocolate.
The Royal Library
was lit in an amazing fashion and was buzzing of people. The nearby
museum showed a historical battle between Danes and Swedes projected
on a big building's wall. Here we stopped for a tomato soup to keep
us going.
I had a long list
of places to see, and we actually managed quite a few of them. One
place that I wanted to visit, was the Royal Kitchen at Christiansborg Palace.
I
really like copperware and this kitchen boasts a huge copperware
collection, so it was nice to see all those pots and pans. The
kitchen itself is a cosy cellar full of old cookware. I wouldn't mind
cooking in such a great kitchen myself.
I
can't wait for the culture night to come around again next year!
Sounds like a great night to be out and about - and wonderful to see the palace kitchen - they are always so amazing huge in these grand buildings
ReplyDeleteYes it was really good!
DeleteI love light shows, they truly transform a place. I wish there were more near where I lived as I feel since moving to Wales, i miss out a lot. your so luck to have been able to take pictures of the kitchen, i have often been to heritage places and they are quite snooty and don't like it when you take photos, so thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe light shows were amazing and the whole night was great. They were very welcoming that night, and I think that photos are always allowed there, but yes I know that kind of places too.
