KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg
The museum and sculpture garden

KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg in Aalborg, Denmark, was built between 1968-72 after designs by Elissa and Alvar Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruël.[1]

Located near parkland and woodlands, the building has been designed in response to its natural context, with a ziggurat shape. It extends over 6,000 square metres, with galleries organised around a central hall. The external walls and most of the pavement are of Carrara marble. The building materials have light colours to emphasize the art works.[2]

The outdoor areas include a sculpture park, amphitheatre and terrace. Some of the sculptures exhibited are by Gunnar Aagaard Andersen, Willy Ørskov, Lene Adler Petersen and Mogens Møller.[2]

Collection

The collection consisting of around 1,500 art objects, includes paintings, sculptures and other media.[3]
