Helsingør library

The forecast was for pouring rain, but we didn't want to stay at the hostel the whole day so we were off to the library.  What a find!  It opened on 10/10/10 (hmm - Danfoss Universe opened at 05:55 on 5/5/05 - is that a Danish thing?) on the harbor in an old shipyard building that has a new glass structure around it.

Inside you can see original steps and beams.  Here is a view of part of the music library, which has an exhibit focusing on the Roskilde Festival.

 On a couple of the floors there are balconies that out of the original building but still inside the new building.

Here is a view from the balcony (you can see that they are still doing construction in the area).

Other buildings have been converted, too.

The children's area has lots and lots of wooden toys, including this area with a pirate books to the left and a ship to the right.

What looked like a round structure opened up to reveal the travel section.

There was part of a play house with bears and bear books.

And of course there was Wii, Playstation, and Kinect (the kids are driving cars).

In another section of the same building was an interactive art museum for kids,

including a climbing area,

pop-up art,

and tea sets (with magnets).

The rain finally ended and we headed home, being careful not to step on the slugs.
