Letters in The Diamond

We bring Royal Danish Library's large collection of letters to life.

Royal Danish Library contains a collection of over two million letters from great personalities, artists and writers. We bring the collection to life with letter writing concerts in the Old Reading Room and themed letter performances with actors and musicians on stage in the Queen's Hall.
