”I am proud and happy that Aarhus’ new public library
is gathering international recognition
and has now been named the best in the world.
DOKK1 has become a unique gathering point
and meeting place for knowledge,
opinions, and people, and the building attracts
tourists and professionals from all over the world.
International praise and pats on the back from abroad are
always nice, but it means just as much
that DOKK1 has become a popular
meeting place for Aarhusians.”
