Art and architecture lovers will need to set aside at least a half-day to explore the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, located in the heart of Denmark’s second-largest city, Aarhus. The architecture of the 17,700-m² cube-shaped building is quite unique, offering ten levels of exhibition space punctuated by a spiral staircase. You have access to a “free” viewing area, but will have to pay an entrance fee if you would like to see the full collection, which encompasses over 1,000 paintings, 400 installations, and hundreds of art videos, graphics, drawings, and photos. In addition to the permanent collections, the museum has a full calendar of rotating exhibitions and events. When you need a break from the sensory overload you can drop into the Art Café or the ARoS Food Hall.
