A cultural centre in the Gammel Dok warehouse, opened on the first anniversary of the invasion.

Ukraine House in Denmark opened on 24 February 2023 — the first anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion — in Copenhagen's Gammel Dok warehouse in Christianshavn, which previously housed the Danish Architecture Centre. Its co-founder and chair is Nataliia Popovych; the impulse came from the sharp growth of the Ukrainian community in Denmark. The first large exhibition was "The Muses Are Not Silent" — 50 artists, painting, photography, sculpture and video about the experience of war. By the centre's own count, more than 150 public events have been held here since it opened, attended by over 12,500 people; the work is largely carried by volunteers.
