ON THE EDGE - The Black Diamond 25 years
The Black Diamond is shaped like a sculptural monolith. With its distinct cubic shape and glossy black facade, the library's cultural centre has over time become one of Copenhagen's greatest architectural icons.
In 2024, The Black Diamond will have its 25th anniversary, and it will be celebrated with an anniversary exhibition in The Black Diamond. The exhibition focuses on the visions for the building, the Diamond's distinctive architecture and also on the building's role today.
