EVENT
A COLOURFUL AND CREATIVE AUTUMN HOLIDAY
When the leaves fall, there’s good reason to head indoors. The autumn holiday at the design museum offers eight exhibitions – from iconic classics and new perspectives on design history to a newly opened, sensory special exhibition with Henrik Vibskov – and on selected days there’s a creative workshop for families.
During the autumn holiday, the museum truly unfolds. The museum’s eight exhibitions offer selected gems from the large design collection and an entire Panton universe that, in celebration of Verner Panton’s 100th birthday, brings together some of his most iconic furniture pieces. Most recently, the programme has grown with Henrik Vibskov: The Exhibition, which takes you on an experience-rich journey through the designer’s universe.
The holiday kicks off with Culture Night, where the doors stay open until midnight with workshops, music, and light art. The rest of the holiday also offers a creative family workshop, where children and adults create and colour fans inspired by Vibskov’s universe, free guided tours every Sunday — and when the day’s programme has ended, the museum shop and café await with a menu that tastes of autumn.
MIDNIGHT OPENING AT THE MUSEUM
Once a year, Designmuseum Danmark keeps its doors open longer than usual. On Culture Night, you can explore the exhibitions, take part in workshops, and listen to live music on the forecourt. It’s an evening when the museum shows itself from a different side, with something to see, hear, and experience in every corner right up until midnight.
Friday 9 October, 18.00-24.00
INTO HENRIK VIBSKOV’S UNIVERSE
Henrik Vibskov’s very distinctive way of working is the focal point of this large, sensory special exhibition. Here awaits a wealth of different works and experiences – from tiny models of installations, to 44 display cases with objects, prototypes, and works from Vibskov’s studio, to large installations you can walk through. It’s a direct glimpse into a designer’s mind, where patterns, colours, and quirky details fill every corner.
18 September 2026 – 21 February 2027
FANS WITH THE COLOURS
Stripes, dots, and lots of colour! During the autumn holiday, Designmuseum Danmark invites children and their adults to a creative family workshop, where you’ll assemble and colour your own fans together. The inspiration comes from Henrik Vibskov’s quirky universe, and there’s free rein for colour choices and imagination.
Tuesday 13 October, 10.00-12.30 and 13.30-16.00
Wednesday 14 October, 10.00-12.30 and 13.30-16.00

END THE DAY WITH FLAVOUR AND ATMOSPHERE
When the day’s programme has ended, there’s still more to enjoy. In the café you can warm up with a cup of coffee and a menu that tastes of autumn, while the museum shop is bursting with items, posters, and gift ideas for everyone on your list. End your visit in the museum’s beautiful garden, where the fallen leaves and low light create the perfect setting for a calm end to the day.
