Royal opening of The Denmark Pavilion during the Olympics

With attendance from both Their Majesties, the Danish ambassador to France Michael Starbæk Christensen and a number of invited guests, plans have been made for a prominent opening of The Denmark pavilion.  

The pavilion is housed in historic surroundings in the Maison du Danemark, and in the weeks during the Olympics, VisitDenmark brings together the essence of Denmark in collaboration with a wide range of partners.   

We are very happy that with its participation the Royal Palace is helping to shed light on the story of Denmark represented at The Denmark pavilion. Denmark is a small country with room for big ideas, and we would like to reflect that with the window to Denmark that we have created, says CEO of VisitDenmark Katja Moesgaard.  

The Denmark pavilion formally opens the day before the opening of the 33rd Olympic Games.  

The Games attract 10,000 athletes from around the world and millions of tourists who come for both the sport and the experience.  

We hope that as many people as possible will visit us on the Champs-Élysée - either to listen to a conversation between ministers and businesspeople, to meet Danish innovators, or to experience some of the free concerts with leading Danish artists that we have in The Culture-box, says Katja Moesgaard.  

Katja Moesgaard, together with Realdania's CEO Jesper Nygaard and Denmark's ambassador to France Michael Starbæk Christensen, will be addressing the guests at the opening event, which is a closed event for invited guests and the press. From the 26th of July until the 11th of August, the pavilion is open and free to visit every day.
