Aros Aarhus Kunstmuseum, a relatively new museum that opened to the public in April of 2004, is Århus' answer to Copenhagen's cultural wealth. It takes its name from the original Viking name for the city of Århus). The cube-shaped building in glass and brick became one of the largest museums in northern Europe. Aros is also quite unusual, since it’s in the middle of a relatively big city, as opposed to most art museums in northern Europe of comparable size.
The museum features contemporary art by Danish as well as famous international artists from the 19th century to present day, such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. The exhibition is divided into six floors where you can take the elevator up to the top and work your way down until you get to the basement. There you find The Nine Rooms, which you will probably either love or hate. It’s called “international installation art” and requires an open mind when you visit. In addition to the art exhibition itself you should not forget to take the escalator from the top floor up to the rooftop where you will have a great view of the city of Århus. Aros can be found along Vester Allé, only a 10-minute walk from the train station and five minutes from the tourist office.
