Kunsten – Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg is a modern art museum, an experience house and an architectural gem in itself. Created by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto in collaboration with his wife Elissa Aalto and the Danish architect Jean-Jacques Baruël. Although the museum has existed since 1972, it still stands out today - not least thanks to the architects' modern thinking and thus the unique architecture.
Art on art
The art's walls and floors are adorned with Danish and international art that ranges from the 20th century to the present day. Here you can experience the permanent collection, consisting of more than 4,000 works, and the changing special exhibitions. All located around the museum's five exhibition halls, which are both above and below ground.
Brasserie Kunsten
Located on the lower floor, with a beautiful view of the Sculpture Park and furnished with Aalto's own design furniture, you will find the museum's café, Brasserie Kunsten . Here you can both experience exciting flavor combinations from the renowned chef Tina Jacobsen and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, while the day's artistic impression quietly falls into place.
