Copenhagen Complains! Conflict, Violence and Daily Life in the Eigteenth Century

Drunken craftsmen. Rotten drains. Violent spouses. Piles of rubbish. Harassment in the street. Unjust punishments. Freezing homes. People had plenty to complain about in the 18th century. This exhibition focuses on the thousands of complaints submitted to the City Council by ordinary people. Visitors can also explore the extensive collection of historical photographs or discover who lived in their house 100 years ago.
