Danish House in Paris, Cultural center on Champs-Élysées, Paris, France
This cultural center occupies a modern building on the Champs-Élysées with exhibition spaces, a restaurant, and offices spread across multiple floors. Inside you will find a library with Danish literature as well as spaces designed for events and activities.
The Danish state purchased the building's previous site in 1948 and demolished it in 1952 to construct the present structure. It opened in 1955 as a symbol of cultural exchange between Denmark and France.
The center shows art exhibitions, concerts, and films featuring Danish artists and subjects. Visitors can explore contemporary and classical Danish culture through changing programs throughout the year.
The center sits directly on the famous avenue and is easy to reach on foot, with good public transportation access nearby. Visitors should note that some areas may have limited access during events or special programs.
The building features furniture by Arne Jacobsen and lighting by Poul Henningsen, both celebrated Danish designers. These details are easy to miss but give the spaces a distinctive character rooted in Danish design traditions.
