Aalborg - North Jutland Museum of Art Nordjyllands Kunstmuseum

At Kong Christians Allé 50 in Alborg stands the impressive building of the North Jutland Museum of Art (Nordjyllands Kunstmuseet), built in 1968-72 to plans by the Finish architects Elissa and Alva Aalto and the Dane Jean Jaques Baruël. The museum consists of a complex of various shapes and includes an amphitheater, a sculpture park and function rooms, including a concert hall.

The principal exhibits are composed of post-1890 Danish paintings and 20th century foreign art. The main emphasis is on the works of the COBRA group, founded in 1948 and named after the initial letters of the towns Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. The group was made up of Danish, Dutch and Belgian painters, including Asgar Jorn and Karl Appel.
