Architecture

Buildings designed by Danish architects can be seen many places worldwide - to mention a few:

• The Sydney Opera (Jørn Utzon),
• La Grande Arche at La Defence in Paris (von Sprechelsen), and
• The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Riyadh (Henning Larsen)

But these architects and others have also left their mark on Copenhagen and its surroundings. Recent years have seen the erection of quite a few buildings in which architects from other countries have also participated.

At The Centre of Architecture you can get detailed information and see special-theme short term exhibitions.
