Eight installations totalling more than 300 objects take the Royal Danish Library’s visitors on a journey into the creative process of Australian musician – and global cultural icon – Nick Cave. Stranger than Kindness follows Cave from his childhood in Victoria to playing in The Birthday Party and onwards to fame.

Danish furniture brand Frama has just opened a new restaurant in the same well-preserved pharmacy, from 1878, that hosts its shop and studio. Apotek 57’s menu features seasonal foods by chef Chiara Barla, accompanied by coffee from Aarhus-based roaster La Cabra. You’ll also find house-made jams, preserves and fermented drinks, produced on-site. It’s a smart spot to grab a bite to eat before perusing the brand’s minimalist wares.

The Danish capital’s newest five-star hotel is a grand dame for the 21st century. Set in the Danish Post and Telegraph’s former head-office building, which was completed in 1912, it balances history with forward-thinking sustainable features. The interiors are by London’s Universal Design Studio, which paid homage to the neo-baroque architecture with restored original windows, high ceilings, herringbone floors, gold accents and muted colour palettes.
