Denmark moves into Brussels
Denmark moves into Brussels for the month of may
In May, Denmark moves into Brussels, into Bibliothéque du Centre in the Woluwe-Saint-Pierre municipality to be specific. Finland and Sweden are also presented in the same area, in two other local libraries. A whole month is dedicated these three Nordic countries. The Danish presentation includes an exhibition of Danish-Bruxellois artist, Carsten Poulsen’s paintings, film screening, food tasting, exhibitions of ‘Vikings in comics’, readings, and much more.
The opening took place on May the 3rd and included a welcome speech by Deputy Mayor Caroline Persoons, the vernissage of Carsten Poulsen’s exhibition Portrætter mødes / Portraits Croisés (EN: ‘Portraits meet’), screening of the Danish movie Marie Krøyer by film director Bille August, a mini flea market selling Danish books and many more Danish attributes.
During the rest of the month, you can familiarize yourself with the Vikings and the world-renowned phenomena of ‘Hygge’. You can also test your knowledge about Denmark in the Denmark Quiz (in French) and explore Danish recipes.
