Description was written before the event

Historian and museum curator Trine Halle explores Copenhagen's development from the mid-1960s to 1990 - a period when the city lost residents, industry moved out, and new currents began shaping modern urban life.

The lecture draws on photographs by Julie Rønnow from this era, several of which are featured in the museum's special exhibition Copenhagen in Light & Shadow. Through images and storytelling, Trine Halle unfolds the broader narrative and offers an intimate perspective on the city's life, people, and transformations.

The event takes place in the Hall at Københavns Museum, Stormgade 18, 1555 Copenhagen V, Sunday 16 August, 14:00-15:30. Admission: adults 75 kr., annual pass holders 50 kr., under 18 years 30 kr.
