Celebrating H.C. Andersen

An enchanted evening

The Copenhagen Admiral Hotel invites you to an evening in the fantasy world of Hans Christian Andersen. The banqueting hall provides the backdrop for this magical dinner. For this special evening it will be decorated with artefacts from the famous storyteller’s study while rotating glass rondels project wonderful colours and dancing figures from the magical world of Hans Christian Andersen’s writing onto the walls. Enjoy an aperitif by the beautiful mermaid centrepiece and then sit down to dinner. Each table has its own fairy-tale theme complete with intricate papercuts, folded serviettes, place cards and menu card. The waiters serve you dressed in traditional white cravats, black jackets and trousers. And over the course of the evening Hans Christian Andersen will appear to tell you some of his stories. As a souvenir of an enchanted evening, guests can take home papercuts of selected motifs created during the evening by a paper cutter.

Mermaid studies

Køge Art Museum of Sketches is a museum of preparatory artistic work. The beautiful Gobelin hall with Bjørn Nørgaard’s impressive 1:1 sketches for Queen Margrethe’s Gobelin tapestries is well suited for conferences, product launches, receptions or gala dinners. In 2005 the museum is giving guided Hans Christian Andersen theme tours with the first stop being the artist Edvard Eriksen’s original plaster model of the Little Mermaid. This study for the famous sculpture shows details, which you cannot see on the sculpture from the quayside on Langelinie. The guided tour focuses on myths about mermaids and continues to the Gobelin hall and Bjørn Nørgaard’s big board for the Gobelin tapestry depicting the period from 1830 to 1900 and events of the time of Hans Christian Andersen.

Call Hans Christian Andersen

Take an audio-visual journey through Hans Christian Andersen’s Copenhagen. This is a new and different version of the traditional walking tour involving 62 signs, 2,000 footprints and the participants’ own mobile phones on which you can call the storyteller. The 2,000 footprints, in Andersen’s own size - 47, lead you to signs posted on buildings in the heart of Copenhagen. Each sign tells of the special significance of the place in the life of Hans Christian Andersen. The walk takes you past the barber where the storyteller had his hair set with curling irons and hair lotion and past the house where he wrote his first novel. The complete tour is shown on the city map marked with the 62 stops - or you can simply join in as it suits you when you see the white footprints around the city. The walking tour is open until the 30th September 2005.
