Dagmar Olrik

For 18 years, she headed a group of tapestry artists in the City Hall's weaving room where the work was completed.

After spending a year at the Tegne- og Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder (Women's Art College) in 1879, she was taught by her father and later by the painter Viggo Pedersen.

In 1900, while on a study trip around Europe, she leart the art of tapestry weaving and creation, especially in Rome and Florence.

There, on the initiative of her brother Axel, she began to decorate the city hall with tapestries celebrating the 80th birthday of Lorenz Frølich.

She also undertook tapestry repair and renovation work for the National Museum, Copenhagen University and several manor houses.
