This book makes it possible to follow the New Aarhus Kunstmuseum/AROS project from start to finish. While the introductory “log” provides a quick overview of the high spots in the process, the individual articles provide a more detailed version. The process is presented chronologically from the choosing of a site, the progress of the architectural competition and the digging of the first turf, through the planning phase and on to the fruition of the building project. Finally, there is an account of the fundamental idea and concept of the Museum, and of the thoughts and visions that will make their mark on the building and the art in it in years to come. A stunning new museum with an equally important collection international as well as Danish.

A joint Swedish-Norwegian publication from the two major architectural publishers, this is yet another probe into the beauty and enigma of a specifically Nordic “sense” in design and ideas about modernity after 1900. Articles also address the still unsolved issue of dividing lines between nationalism and internationalism, and of separate or communial aesthetic and political identities between the Nordic countries in the 20th century. Contains very good archival photographs of World Exhibitions, as the study focuses on what was ‘seen from the outside’ at these events.

The Seurasaari Museum was founded in 1909, when the first group of buildings, belonging to the Niemelä tenant farm, was moved from Konginkangas to Seurasaari Island. The purpose of this outdoor museum is to highlight the Nordic tradition of wood and log construction by presenting various buildings and structures typical of the various provinces of Finland. At present, there are 85 separate buildings at Seurasaari, with some dating back to 1686 and most from the 18th and 19th centuries.
