ARoS is an international art museum located in Aarhus. With six galleries and an entire floor dedicated to transformative installations, ARoS offers an important space for recalibrating the past, negotiating the present, and imagining the future.

ARoS’ collection contains more than 8.300 works including masterpieces by Danish and international artists. The collection features iconic installations such as Olafur Eliasson’s ’Your rainbow panorama’ (2011) and Ron Mueck’s oversized sculpture ’Boy’ (1999). From 2025, visitors can also experience the installation ’The Dome, a Skyspace by James Turrel’l; the artist's most ambitious Skyspace to date. The groundbreaking installation reinforces ARoS' position as one of the world's leading museums for installation art. 

Each year, ARoS hosts six to eight major exhibitions alongside a rich public engagement programme. The bold, adventurous, and international outlook has led to groundbreaking exhibitions featuring artists like J.M.W. Turner, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Franciska Clausen, Salvador Dalì, Asger Jorn, Per Kirkeby, Barbara Kruger, Isaac Julien, Jenny Holzer, Bill Viola, Isaac Julien, Cindy Sherman, Mariko Mori, Sarah Sze and many more.

More than 600.000 visitors come to ARoS annually for transformative art experiences, to shop in the ARoS Butik, eat in the ARoS Café or Orangery or simply enjoy the iconic architecture and location.

The Turbine Hall stands impressively with both charm, size, and sustainability, as history tells that it also carries the former roof of Copenhagen Central Station! It has also served as a power plant for Aarhus Tramways, but today we light candles in the hall's old, high walls and create a unique and special atmosphere that adds extra dimensions to all kinds of events.

With its many square meters, the Turbine Hall offers great freedom for expression. Here, the ceiling is high, and there is endless space for grand gestures. Whether you are planning a concert, private party, fair, corporate event, conference, or another special occasion, our experienced and dedicated team can certainly ensure a successful, professional, and tailored event.

The Turbine Hall was built in the year 1900 and designed by the architect Fritz Koch, who also designed the original Langelinie Pavilion and the well-known octagonal telephone kiosks in Copenhagen.

The Turbine Hall is framed with a truly beautiful acoustic solution, so both conversations, loud music, speeches, and whatever else you have in mind can be expressed and come into their own in the beautiful, large hall.
