November Kids: Humbugs don’t come sweeter

TheCopenhagenPost

A Christmas Carol
Nov 13-Dec 18, Mon-Fri 09:30 & 11:30, Sat & Sun 13:00 & 15:00; Open Air Museum, Kongens Lyngby; 40-165kr; natmus.dk
It’s surprising so few Danes are familiar with the Dickensian classic A Christmas Carol, but all that is changing thanks to this annual production by the Bernhard Olsen Teater.

Suitable for ages six and above, this version has trimmed off the dark elements of the original to present a shorter version ideal for the little ones.

For those familiar with the story but challenged by the language, it should be a breeze keeping up.

So don’t be a miser and initiate your bilingual offspring into the world of Scrooge.

Humbug to one and all!

Let all your senses explore the world Monet created through his paintings. As a part of their Monet: Beyond Impressionism exhibition, Ordrupgaard Museum has recreated Monet’s renowned garden in Giverny, complete with a water-lily pond and Japanese bridge.

Kids can immerse themselves in a landscape like the one Monet was inspired by. Surrounded by flowers and willow tree branches made of climbing rope, they can jump, crawl and swing. A station well-stocked with crepe paper and pipe cleaners will also be provided for them to make their own flowers. (SK)
