‘Your Rainbow Panorama’ at ARoS Museum in Denmark by Olafur Eliasson

The world-famous Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has created a rainbow for Aarhus, a permanent work of art consisting of a circular, 150-metre-long and three metre-wide circular walkway in glass in all the colours of the spectrum. Mounted on slender columns 3.5 metres above the roof and with a diameter of 52 metres, this spectacular creation extends from one edge to the other of the facade of the cubic museum building. Visitors to the museum will have access to this great work of art via stairs and lifts.

They can take a stroll such as will delight the senses round this circular pathway, which will provide them with panoramic views of the surrounding city and Århus Bay. Beneath the “floating” work of art, the actual roof area and its c. 1500 square metres has been covered with wood, so the surface constitutes a unique recreational area and viewing platform for visitors to the museum fifty metres above street level.
