"The Black Diamond is an extension of Royal Library's from 1999. The building is called The Black Diamond because its facade tilts out over the harbor, so when the sun is just right, it reflects off the water and onto the facade, making it look like it's shining, a bit like a diamond.
Fun fact: The Royal library owns about 4,500 books printed before the year 1501.
You can go to the library for a coffee break, study room or to just walk around.

"The Black Diamond is a modern waterfront extension to the Royal Danish Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles.
Grab a coffee in their cafe by the waterfront & explore the old and modern parts or the library.
PRICE: FREE"

"Old and new merge together in this library. Visit the new section for sweeping views of the water, or embrace the quiet and explore the Old Royal Danish Library built in 1648"
