Aarhus, Denmark
City Hall
For over 70 years this city hall has operated as the political and civic center of Aarhus, Denmark, and continues to be a symbolic representation of democracy.
The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum was established in 1859, making it Denmark’s oldest public art museum outside Copenhagen, but didn’t move into its current 10-story brick cube until 2004. Architect Schmidt Hammer Lassen designed the building as a modern Dante’s Divine Comedy: nine floors representing the nine circles of hell, topped by a tenth for paradise. That top floor got a 150-meter circular rainbow-glass walkway in 2011, courtesy of Olafur Eliasson, turning ARoS into Denmark’s second-most-visited museum after the Louisiana.
Now comes the subterranean sequel: James Turrell’s “As Seen Below” opens June 19, 2026 – a 16-meter-high, 40-meter-wide grass-covered dome that will be the largest Skyspace ever built for a public institution. It’s Turrell’s 100th Skyspace, and fittingly, it’s buried underground. Heaven above, hell below, and now a contemplative dome nestled into the earth between the two.
