We visited Aarhus (pronounced "Are-hoos"), the second largest city in Denmark this past weekend. Aarhus is about 3 hours or so from Copenhagen. These days it's pretty full of students going to University there, but there are some great sights to see there.
The ARoS Art Museum is very modern and houses two popular installations- the "Your Rainbow Panorama" rooftop walkway by Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. Also featured is "Boy" by Australian artist Ron Mueck, which is a giant model of a crouching boy.
Aarhus also has the awesome Den Gamle By (The Old Town) which is an open-air town museum housing 75 buildings (from houses to a bakery to a post office to an old radio/electronics store) from all over Denmark. The buildings have been left decorated as they were left in either the 1550's to the late 19th century.
It was a great little (or big) city and we enjoyed the trip. Enjoy the pics!
