There's an Hermès exhibit going on in Copenhagen called "Hermès in the Making", and it starts today during Kulturnatten (very similar to Nuit Blanche in Paris).
From the description on the website:
"Meet the artisans behind Hermès’ sustainable craftsmanship at Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen from 15th to 24th October 2021.
Discover how we craft objects designed to last and be repaired, to be used and passed down the generations.
Equipped with their toolkits, craftspeople from nearly ten of the house’s métiers have come to show their favoured materials and offer a sneak-peek into their expert techniques and exclusive know-how. Their work echoes our preoccupations, which are now more than ever at the heart of our modern times: preserving and developing savoir-faire – expertise which is often linked to a historical tradition or region – a quest for quality, durability and innovation, and respect for the surrounding environments.
The event features live demonstrations, workshops, interactive activities and films spread throughout the space. As they walk through the display, guests will be invited to customise the visit based on the interests, desires, and themes that excite their curiosity.

Bryghuspladsen 10,
