Denmark - Aarhus - AROS - Inside Your Rainbow panorama 01_DSC6887
Over the next few days you're going to be seeing more shots of 'Your Rainbow panorama' by the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. I'm a big fan of his work but this rooftop installation at the AROS Museum in Aarhus was one of my favourite yet.
I'm not sure if AROS Museum architects, Schmidt Hammer Lassen, were involved in the design of the circular glass ring but the architecture itself was so minimal it detracted almost negligibly from the experience of the intense colours.

From Wikipedia : 'Olafur's artwork Your rainbow panorama consists of a circular, 150 metres (490 ft) long and 3 metres (9.8 ft) wide corridor made of glass in every color of the spectrum. It has a diameter of 52 metres (171 ft) and is mounted on 3.5 metres (11 ft) high columns on top of the roof of the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum in Aarhus. It opened in May 2011. Visitors can walk through the corridor and have a panoramic view of the city. Construction cost 60 million Danish kroner and was funded by the Realdania foundation.
Olafur's idea was chosen in 2007 among five other proposals in a bidding process by a panel of judges. At night the artwork is lit from the inside by spotlights in the floor.'
