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.
