MODERN AARHUS AND MODERN ART MUSEUM

Browse the inspiring collection of predominately modern art in ARoS, the most visited art museum in Scandinavia. The building itself is a work of art, as it is crowned by a circular walkway with rainbow-colored glass walls, through which you can see a spectrum of sights through a spectrum of colors. The museum may look rather severe on the exterior, but its white interior is bathed in natural light and brightly illuminated to show off the international art. As you meander about, you will be struck by the power of landmark works such as “Boy,” a massive, almost uncomfortably realistic glass-fiber sculpture. Similarly, you can’t miss the monumental textile installation that hangs from the ceiling and stretches over 160 feet. It is a collaborative work that 50 full-time artists created. Also, be sure to see “9 Spaces,” another piece of installation art whose title refers to the nine circles of hell described in Dante’s classic “Inferno.”
