Introduction

ARoS is among Northern Europe's largest art museums, in central Aarhus, designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen; its icon is the rainbow panorama — a 150 m circular glass walkway where you stroll through the spectrum of the sky, overlooking the city. From Danish Golden Age painting to contemporary installations, with a Yayoi Kusama-like mirror room on permanent show, it is Aarhus's brightest contemporary-art calling card as a European Capital of Culture.
