The museum shows up to eight exhibitions about design history, contemporary design, the design of the future, as well as Danish design icons by Verner Panton, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen and more. The museum communicates quality and craftsmanship, ideas and processes, and breakthrough within design through it’s exhibitions, events, and learning activities. Designmuseum Danmark reopened in June 2022 after two years of renovations. Guests can now visit the new museum café for coffee, lunch or dinner, the new museum shop and the museum garden, which is a quiet, green oasis in the middle of the city.

Join us during the 3daysofdesign festival, as Designmuseum Danmark invites you to three days of reflection on the past, present and future of Danish design. As part of the 3daysofdesign festival, Designmuseum Danmark will host a series of talks, exhibitions, and engaging activities from June 18 to 20. Meet designers, architects, artists and change makers who share a vision for a more caring, inclusive, conscious and collaborative world. These are individuals who stand by their values and ‘keep it real’ in perfect harmony with this year’s theme.
