Utopia and reality
Designmuseum Danmark has a special obligation to give knowledge about Danish design. The permanent exhibition “Utopia and Reality – Applied Arts and Design of the 20th Century” provides insight into Danish design history’s most significant periods and can be seen in the light of the development within contemporary aesthetic discussions and the social, technical and economic conditions.

Design then and now
The museum offers a unique opportunity to step back in the history of style across national borders. The historical collections of European and Asian art and decorative art includes major works in Chinese ceramics, 1700s French and German porcelain as well as English and French furniture. Here you can immerse in the narrative setups or just let yourself be impressed by the beautiful details in craftsmanship.
