Twice a month, Designmuseum Danmark invites guests to something as simple, and yet increasingly rare, as a shared meal set in the middle of Danish design history. We gather in the museum’s café, and as soon as the spring sun allows, we dine outside at long tables in the museum’s garden.

We bring Danish classics back to life, both the ones on your plate and the ones surrounding you.

GET TO KNOW A DANISH DESIGN CLASSIC

While you enjoy your meal, we shine a light on a beloved Danish design classic that you most likely know from your own home. For each gathering, we select a new icon and unfold its story, from the first pencil strokes to its place in our shared cultural heritage. It is design history at eye level, presented as a quiz, a short talk, or an interactive game while we dine together.

SPRING SERVED ON LARGE SHARING PLATTERS

Just as the furniture classics are given new life, we give the classics of Danish cuisine a green twist. Think vegetarian forloren hare, boller i karry, or skipperlabskovs, served on large sharing platters so the conversation can flow as freely as the fresh spring air.
