Future plans

Randers Museum of Art is housed in the cultural centre of Kulturhuset (The House of Culture), designed by the architect Flemming Lassen and opened in 1969.[4] In February 2009, the Danish company 3XN won a competition for building new premises for the art museum. The new building was designed as a transition between town and countryside, art and nature. Covering an area of 7,550 m2 (81,300 sq ft), it was to house three exhibition galleries, an auditorium, a café and a shop.[5] Efforts to raise some DKK 250 million for the project have however not been successful. In September 2012, it was announced the ambitious project would not go ahead, consideration being given instead to an extension of the existing building.[6]

Opening times

Located at Stemannsgade 2, 2, Randers, the museum collection is open to visitors free of charge from 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday to Sunday (and until 8 pm on the last Wednesday each month). Closed from 24 to 26 December, 31 December, 1 January, 1 May and 5 June.[7]
