Your Rainbow Panorama By Ólafur Elíasson, ARoS Art Museum, Aarhus, Denmark
|
Exhibitions
The museum is divided into three different permanent collections: The Danish "golden age" 1770–1900, Danish modernism 1900–1960 and contemporary art.
But it also includes The 9 Spaces, a so-called "gallery in progress" of installation art, where 1 or 2 rooms are done each year. The number 9 refers to Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy and the 9 circles of hell. The rooms are painted black to contrast with the bright white exterior. The roof terrace substitutes for the divine light your enter from hell. This way the whole museum is part of the travel from hell to heaven. This movement emphasised by the grand spiral staircase in the main 'museum streetscape'.
