Danish Architecture Center (DAC) is an international cultural attraction for everyone who wants to explore and understand how architecture and design create the framework for our lives. We believe that architecture can change the world and that it can be part of the solution to future challenges in relation to the UN’s Global Goals. Therefore our mission is to engage even more people in the world of architecture through exhibitions, learning and networking. DAC is established as a foundation, and our core funding is provided by a public-private partnership between the Danish government and Realdania, a for-profit charitable entity. The Danish government is represented by the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of the Interior and Housing.

ARoS er et af nordens mest besøgte museer og har en vision om at blive blandt de tyve vigtigste kunstmuseer i verden. Med sine fem gallerier og en hel etage dedikeret til installationskunst præsenterer museet hvert år markante nationale og internationale kunstnere samt udstillinger med kunst fra ARoS’ egen samling. Kæmpeskulpturen Boy, tekstilinstallationen Valkyrie Rán og ikke mindst regnbuen på toppen, Your rainbow panorama, er nok museets mest kendte og iøjnefaldende værker. Værkerne er hvert år med til at trække gæster fra hele verden til ARoS og Aarhus, og i fremtiden vil man også komme for at opleve udvidelsen The Next Level med den enorme kunstinstallation The Dome af amerikanske James Turrell, når den åbner i 2025. Men ARoS er meget mere end kunsten. Det er et socialt samlingssted midt i byen og et univers for alle, der har lyst til at udvide horisonten, komme tættere på hinanden og danne fællesskaber. Museet tager aktiv del i samfundet og er debatskabende via udstillingerne, talks og andre aktiviteter, men også ved at være synlig i medierne og deltage i paneldebatter, samtalesaloner og lignende.

Staged on the spectacular Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi is one of Sydney’s most popular events, with 500,000 visitors viewing over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. Held since 1997, this free to the public exhibition captures the imagination of Sydney and its visitors for three weeks each spring and is the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world. The exhibition generates an almost unprecedented level of goodwill among the public as they enjoy one of the most unique events in the world. The popularity of the Bondi exhibition led to the creation of Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in Perth on Australia’s Indian Ocean coast in March each year. Staged since 2005 the Cottesloe exhibition features over 70 sculptures and is enjoyed by 220,000 visitors, making the exhibition as much a part of Perth as the Bondi show is in Sydney.
