KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art is located in Aalborg, Denmark, on Kong Christians Allé near its junction with Vesterbro.[2] Of a modern Scandinavian design, it was built between 1968 and 1972 by Finnish architects Elissa and Alvar Aalto and Danish architect Jean-Jacques Baruël. It was completed on 8 June 1972.[3][4][5]
The museum has been termed a "showplace for 20th-century Danish and international art",[5] as it showcases both domestic and international modern art collections.[citation needed] It is described as "strikingly contemporary in both form and content".[2]
