Heart-felt tales among the artefacts

Don't miss the Eurovision semi-finals, kids' day at the cinema, or tales of love at the Museum of Copenhagen this week.

 

Love at the Museum
This week, it’s all about sharing and reminiscing about stories of love. At a new exhibition at the Museum of Copenhagen, locals are invited to contribute by bringing an object that represents love in their lives and a story about love. Objects selected by the museum curators will automatically become part of the exhibition and of the Copenhagen Museum collections. The museum will also offer afternoon tea and a light snack to those sharing their objects and stories.

Museum of Copenhagen, Vesterbrogade 59; Thu (May 16) 17:30-19:30
