The Jugendstilsenteret or Art Nouveau Centre in Ålesund traces the town's fascinating architectural history since its destruction in the fire of 1904. Housed in the Art Nouveau style building from 1907 of the former Swan Pharmacy (Svaneapoteket i Ålesund), it features beautifully furnished rooms, multimedia exhibitions and international art. The permanent exhibitions have themes which document the unique redevelopment of the entire town in a homogenous style, with over 320 Art Nouveau buildings constructed in the area on Gesamtkunstwerk principles –
Adjacent to the Jugendstilsenteret is the Art Museum KUBE, located in the former branch office building of Norges Bank (1906). It exhibits art work related to the county of Møre and Romsdal, as well as national and international contemporary art.
Tickets valid for both the Art Nouveau Centre and Art Museum KUBE cost NOK 80 for adults, NOK 45 for students, and NOK 65 for seniors and individuals in groups. Entry is free for children under 18 years.
