The National Museum of Denmark
Last week, just between Christmas and New Year I briefly visited Copenhagen. Even though it was quite cold and I only stayed there for 2 days I enjoyed every bit of it! Beautiful city, friendly people, tasty smørrebrød, and great museums. I would love to spend more time in Copenhagen, just maybe not in the winter:)

This year the Museum Night took place on 1st of December and the MIAT opened its doors till 01 o'clock inviting visitors to attend its new exhibition 'Made by Children. Child Labor Then and Now', music performance by Wannes Cappelle, various demonstration and the recently opened Bar Mitte.
Made by Children. Child Labor Then and Now. MIAT 20.11.16 - 07.01.2017
Last Sunday new exhibition opened its doors to the public at the MIAT museum - 'Made by children. Child labor then and now'. This exhibition gives child labour a face by presenting a striking personal stories of 14 children, aged from 8 to 14.
Some of the stories are of children here in Belgium, some are of children from the abroad, some stories relate to the past, others to the present.
