Also: support culture. Museums are closed, concerts and recitals are cancelled, etc., but the expenses do not disappear. I have just renewed my membership in the Louisiana Gallery of Modern Art in Copenhagen, even though I will probably only get to visit once this year, in the fall, and I have decided to sign up for one in ARoS, the museum in my hometown Aarhus, where I usually get in for free because I usually go together with my friend Lars who is a member and can bring a guest?but now they need my DKK more than ever, so I will get my own membership. I know it is not the highest priority in the scheme of things, but I want those places to still be there when we emerge from the dark tunnel.
