ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Art museum in Aarhus, Denmark
Description
ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum is an art museum in Aarhus with ten levels containing artworks from Danish and international artists spread across multiple exhibition spaces. The building displays paintings, sculptures, and other media across different artistic movements and styles.
History
The museum was founded in 1859 as the oldest art collection outside Copenhagen and moved to its current building designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen in 2004. This relocation marked a major turning point for both the institution and the city.

The museum regularly presents rotating exhibitions with works from artists across different periods and regions. Visitors experience how contemporary pieces sit alongside classical masterworks throughout the building.

The museum spans multiple floors and visitors should wear comfortable shoes to explore all areas. Elevators are available for those who prefer not to climb stairs or need assistance moving between levels.
