About
ARoS Aarhus Art Museum sits in Aarhus, the second-largest city in Denmark, on the Central Denmark Region's coast. Its address is Aros Allé 2, 8000 Aarhus. It is a contemporary art museum, and it is also known simply as ARoS.
What to expect
The museum is best known for its rainbow panorama walkway, a circular path of coloured glass that wraps around the top of the building. Walking it gives a shifting view over the city and the surrounding landscape, with the colours changing as you move from one section to the next. Many visitors make it a first stop, whatever else they plan to see inside.
The collection brings together modern Danish and international art, so a visit can move between regional work and pieces from further afield. The museum is one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe, which gives it room for a broad range of exhibitions and a visit of a few hours or more.
Making a day of it
- Allow time for the rainbow walkway as well as the galleries.
- Aarhus itself offers a compact centre to explore on foot before or after your visit.
- The museum suits art lovers, families, and anyone interested in contemporary design and architecture.
