Treasure hunt in the exhibition TREASURES
For children and their adults in Royal Danish Library's treasury!
Treasure chest, flashlight and expedition map
With an expedition map in one hand and a flashlight in the other, you can solve fun tasks together and learn more about the exhibition's many books, drawings, photographs, globes, letters and important papers. You also get a treasure chest with gold coins, which will send you around among the many treasures.
Along the way, you will find not just one, but a lot of treasures! They are all very valuable and significant in their own way. See, for example, an original Tintin drawing, an eight-metre-long scroll, a book of sorcery written in code and fairy tales that Hans Christian Andersen himself wrote with ink and quill!
The treasures' stories told to children and their adults
The Treasure Expedition is just one of the library's activities for children. In the exhibition, the youngest can also immerse themselves in the stories behind Denmark's great treasures. Look at the iPad closest to the treasure, where you will find our texts for children and their adults.
