Get around the exhibitions

Recycle!

The exhibition Recycle! is displayed in Forum. Take the elevator to level U2 for the exhibition’s introduction. Alternatively, use the main staircase.

The exhibition is designed to accommodate wheelchair users, with wide corridors and a smooth, even surface for ease of movement. Please note that the Kitchen of Construction Waste installation includes a small step, which may make it difficult to get close in a wheelchair. There are no guiding lines. Generally, text and videos are placed at standard standing height, which may make them difficult to view from wheelchair height or for visitors with visual impairments. Part of the Water Tower installation is reused from the exhibition Water is Coming. It features a wooden ramp leading to a pavilion. The ramp has a sharp edge and elevation, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users or visitors with mobility impairments. Access to the film in the plastic pavilion may also be difficult for wheelchair users, as the entrance is narrow and the space inside is limited.

The entire exhibition is presented in both Danish and English. Videos are either in English with Danish subtitles or in Danish with English subtitles. The exhibition does not offer braille signage. The exhibition includes a substantial amount of reading material. The font size follows standard guidelines, though smaller text is used in some areas, which may be difficult to read. Most of the exhibition space is lit with spotlights and natural daylight. Some text panels may reflect light, and certain areas are brightly lit, which may affect guests who are sensitive to light. Music and sound effects play throughout the exhibition. The opening film, Construction Puts Pressure on the Planet’s Resources, includes loud and sudden sounds. If you are sensitive to sound, please bring your earplugs.

At the video How Will We Live in 2050?, there is a lounging area situated at floor level. Using the furniture requires full mobility, but the film can still be viewed. Some installations are experienced through small peepholes placed at child height. These may be difficult to use for adults or visitors with limited mobility. At the end of the exhibition, the elevator is accessible.

Meet Me Here

The exhibition Meet Me Here is a smaller exhibition shown in the Stair Gallery, a five-landing exhibition space. The exhibition begins on the top landing, which can be accessed via the escalator or the Rainbow Stairs from Forum. We recommend starting your visit here, but the exhibition can also be accessed through the DAC Design Shop. There is no elevator to the starting point of the exhibition. Three of the four landings can be accessed via a lift from the DAC Design Shop, but the lift only goes to the landing called A Little Hello, meaning the upper part of the exhibition – including the Photo Booth – is not accessible. The lift measures 100 cm x 77 cm. If your wheelchair does not fit, DAC offers a loaner wheelchair. This also applies to guests with limited mobility. To reserve a wheelchair, please contact welcome@dac.dk no later than 12:00 the day before your visit. All landings are carpeted, which may make navigation difficult with a wheelchair or stroller. Spotlights are used in several areas, which may be challenging for light-sensitive visitors. The landings do not feature guiding lines. Exhibition texts are available in both Danish and English. Braille is not available.

The top landing can only be accessed via stairs or escalator. The lift does not serve the top landing due to technical limitations. This is where the introductory text to the exhibition is located, along with the Photo Booth, where visitors can take a free photo. The Photo Booth is lit with extra-bright light to ensure photo quality, which may be disturbing for light-sensitive visitors.The second landing, titled A Little Hello, has a bench in the center of the room, which may limit mobility for wheelchair users. Both light and sound are used on this landing, which may be overstimulating for guests sensitive to sensory input. The third landing, A Trace in the Space, is spacious and accessible for wheelchair users. Two video pieces are shown here featuring bright light and white noise, which may be uncomfortable for some visitors.The fourth landing, Physical Presence, is also accessible for wheelchair users. A video installation with strong, moving light is displayed here, which may affect guests who are sensitive to light. As in the rest of the exhibition, texts are available in Danish and English, but not in Braille.

At the very bottom – where the DAC Slide ends – is a wall that is also part of the exhibition. Here, guests can take or scan a slip of paper. This section is accessible to all. One part of the installation is placed high on the wall and may not be reachable for wheelchair users.

So Danish!

The exhibition is in the Golden Gallery on Level U1. Use the stairs up from the DAC Design Shop or take the elevator.

The exhibition starts on the landing in front of the Golden Gallery. If you use the elevator, you should start your visit on the landing and read the introduction to the exhibition. You can also take an audio-guide from here. The audio-guide will guide you through all the exhibition in Danish or English. Start by selecting the language when you take the guide.

You activate the guide throughout the exhibition every time you go past a small transmitter marked on the wall. If you are partially sighted, it can be a little difficult to see the small transmitters.

The So Danish! exhibition is rather dense, with many exhibits. When there are many guests the room can feel very crowded, and it may also be difficult to move around the exhibition in a wheelchair. We recommend that you visit one of the other exhibitions and come back a little later.

The exhibition contains a lot of text and photos. All text is in both Danish and English.

Return the audio-guide when you leave the So Danish! exhibition. It is not part of the other exhibitions.
