Danish citizens pitched in to help rescue priceless art from
a burning landmark. This is Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange
Building during a 2021 light Festival and this is the
building yesterday after it caught on fire in a blaze
that drew comparisons to the burning of Paris's Notre Dame
Cathedral. In 2019, the Old Stock Exchange contained
many valuable works of art. People in the area
joined to, to save as much of it as
they could even Danish chamber of Commerce, Ceo Brian
Mikelson lent a hand. Claves Lockwood arrived on the
scene because he had to move his car which was
parked nearby. He says he ended up salvaging a
painting by 16 th century artist Albrecht Duer. That
was such a moment to hold the Danish National History
in your hands and to grasp the seriousness of this
terrible, terrible fire. The cause of the fire
is unknown but fortunately no injuries have been reported.
