ARoS Aarhus Art Museum
About This Museum
If you ask me, what truly sets ARoS apart isn't just the art inside, but that rainbow you can see from almost anywhere in the city. It's our museum, a colossal modern landmark that somehow feels both grand and deeply personal to Aarhus. Inside, you'll wander through centuries of Danish creative spirit, from the golden age of the 1700s right up to thought-provoking contemporary installations that make you stop and think. And then there's the roof—your journey culminates in 'Your rainbow panorama,' a breathtaking circular walkway offering a view of the old city through a wash of vibrant colour.
Collection Highlights
You can't miss Ron Mueck's monumental 'Boy,' a five-meter-tall hyper-realistic sculpture that simply dwarfs you. Then there's the 'Nine Spaces' installation—a dark, sensory journey that plays with light and sound in a way that's hard to forget.
Visitor Information
Come with comfortable shoes; this place is vast and you'll want to explore every level. Don't rush straight to the top—half the fun is getting pleasantly lost among the galleries on your way up.
Architecture & Building
It's a massive, striking cube of deep red brick and glass, topped with its iconic circular rainbow walkway—a real conversation starter on the skyline.
