Discover Copenhagen's history from a different perspective on this special archive tour. In the normally closed archive basement beneath City Hall, thousands of documents reveal stories of both the city's official development and its most vulnerable residents.
On your journey through the archive's chambers, you'll encounter tales of Copenhagen life from the margins – from street characters to the stern walls of institutions. Gain insight into the social reality of the 1800s and 1900s through testimonies about drifters, eccentric originals, and people whose destinies were shaped by the city's harsh conditions.
Archivist and ethnologist Anders Møller guides you through the collections and opens the door to a Copenhagen history rarely brought to light. Admission 50 kr.
