Why ARoS Aarhus Art Museum matters
You see it before you reach it: a glowing ring in every colour of the rainbow on the museum roof. The ring is a walkway, so you can step inside the colours and look out across Aarhus. Below, nine floors of galleries cover Danish art, international modern work and bold installations. It is one of the best museums in the country and an easy sell for photographers.
Talking points
- The rainbow walkway on the roof is the museum's signature feature.
- Galleries run from Danish classics to contemporary installations.
- The building is easy to spot from across the city centre.
