On the roof of the art museum in Aarhus, Denmark is a circular walkway enclosed in glass of changing color. I thought it was pretty cool when I visited there last year. The piece was only a few months old. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to use my then new DSLR at the time, and so my settings were pretty messed up when I took today’s photo. I guess I have an excuse to go back now.
The Old Town - Aarhus, Denmark
Perhaps my favorite museum visit, ever, was to Den Gamle By in Aarhus on Jutland. Besides the fact that I love old buildings, I had just the right conditions for visiting this place. I arrived almost an hour before they opened, and the guy at the gate let me in so I got to walk around and imagine myself traveling back in time several hundred years without tourists ruining the illusion. By the time I left a couple hours later, The Old Town was filling up and the ambiance had totally changed.
I believe today’s photo is the inner garden surrounded by “The Mayor’s House” (aka “The Old Mayor’s Residence” or “The Merchant’s House”). This building dates back to the 16th Century and was moved to its current location in 1914 as the first building in Den Gamle By.
Today’s photo was taken from the roof of the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum.
Copenhagen Denmark - gay spot of Europe
Gay once had a different connotation than it does now. This print is from 1947, and I saw it hanging on the wall of The Danish Poster Museum which is part of Aarhus’ Old Town Museum (Den Gamle By).
