Kunsthal Aarhus boasts 1,000 m² of exhibition space spread across five galleries and showcases local, national and international artists. Here you’ll find everything from painting, sculpture and installations to video art, performance and cross-disciplinary projects.

Art, culture and community

Kunsthal Aarhus is more than just a museum and exhibition venue. It is a cultural hub where art, debate, music, film, literature and events create new encounters between people and ideas. The exhibitions often take their cue from current social themes, allowing you, as a visitor, to see and experience the world from new perspectives.

The striking building, the bright galleries, the courtyard and the green park make Kunsthal Aarhus an oasis in the heart of Aarhus.

One of Europe’s oldest art galleries

Founded in 1917, Kunsthal Aarhus is one of the oldest art galleries in Europe. The historic building was designed by Høeg-Hansen and later extended by C.F. Møller Architects.

Sculpture Park in the heart of the city

Outside Kunsthal Aarhus, you can explore the Sculpture Park, which was established in 2017 to mark the art gallery’s 100th anniversary. Here, the park surrounding the art gallery has been transformed into an open and ever-changing artistic urban space featuring works by Danish and international artists. Discover sculptures and installations by FOS, Søren Thilo Funder, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Willy Ørskov and Jimmie Durham, where art, architecture and nature come together in the city’s public spaces.

The park is constantly evolving with both permanent and temporary works, inviting you to take a break for art under the open sky – both before and after your visit to the art gallery.
