Part 1, I like this sofas on the Library, that have the glass windows showing the roads on both sides, we all know the Hermes trimegistus law as it is up it's above?

I see the cars driving people, things and I see the blood in my veins, taking oxigen and whatever it takes. I see the rivers with tides, I see the universe.

I want to tell with all my honest what I come to do in Denmark

I was scammed with a fraud, I lost around 700$ in Bitcoin, I'm trying to make justice

I'm unemployed for a 6 months more or less and I decided I don't want to be a parasite of my mother, besides she would give me everything she can!

So I am very happy to say that I Love my new jobs, recycling bootles and cans, I'm very happy for doing this even that some people fell disgusted of me!

Is the best job of my life!

I don't win so much but I can work anytime I want, in whatever place I want and I don't have a boss to complain.

Thank you Denmark!

I love this people, but not all of you, some are really disgusting people even that they are rich they are the most miserables.

I love the gardens, I love this woman's even the mans haha, I love the art and I love the snow, but I miss my family.

Anyway I did a few jokes on social apps no one should take it seriously I'm pretending to be retarded.

I love this library also I slept here the other day.

Thank you so much sincerely!

I can even eat from the trash, besides I didn't do it yet, I didn't find nothing, this is the best country...

The Royal Library of Denmark, also known as the Black Diamond, is the largest library in the Nordic countries. Located in Copenhagen, it serves as the national library of Denmark and the university library for the University of Copenhagen. Established in 1648 by King Frederik III, the library has grown into a treasure trove of knowledge, preserving a vast collection of historical manuscripts, books, and documents that span centuries of Danish and global history.

The modern wing of the library, the Black Diamond, opened in 1999, is a striking architectural landmark. Its sleek, black granite facade contrasts with the traditional 19th-century building, symbolizing the fusion of old and new. The library houses over 35 million items, including rare manuscripts like the original manuscripts of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales, and priceless medieval texts.

More than just a repository of knowledge, the Royal Library is a vibrant cultural hub. It hosts exhibitions, concerts, and lectures, fostering intellectual and artistic engagement. Its reading rooms and collections are open to the public, making it a crucial institution for researchers, students, and visitors from around the world who seek to explore Denmark's rich cultural and...

The Black Diamond is one of Copenhagen’s most striking examples of modern architecture. Located right on the waterfront, this bold and elegant extension of the Royal Danish Library beautifully contrasts the city’s historical surroundings with sleek, contemporary design.

The building's gleaming black granite façade reflects the sky and harbor, giving it a jewel-like appearance - hence the name “Black Diamond.” Inside, the space is open, airy, and full of natural light thanks to the massive glass atrium that connects old and new sections of the library. It’s a peaceful place to sit, read, or just take in the unique atmosphere.

What I especially loved were the panoramic views of the harbor from the upper levels and the glass walkways. Whether you're grabbing a coffee, exploring the library's collections, or attending one of its cultural events or exhibitions, the setting feels truly special.

This isn’t just a building for book lovers - it’s a cultural landmark that shows how Denmark blends modernity with heritage. Even if you're not using the library itself, it’s well worth a visit just to admire the architecture, take in the view, or enjoy a quiet moment...

This is much more than a library. This black granite building made of Zimbabwean granite is a huge center of books, conference center, art and photo exhibits, student study rooms, super cafe and gift shop. We took a one hour tour for K120 about $US 20 that included typical admission. We saw the new section, snuck a peek at Queens Hall for concerts and conferences. We viewed the area where the new library joined the old. The two old photographs showed the bridge and small rail car used to move books from the older building to the newer one. The exhibiit of occult practices included original writings, books,tools, medicines, and other items. The gift shop offers an array of books, logs, and library related goodies. The cafe offers an array of savory and sweet delights with several coffee and tea options. Enjoy a high top or accessible height table in the cafe area
