Experience Olafur Eliasson’s Fjordenhus
Experience Olafur Eliasson's enormous architectural artwork Fjordenhus with a guide from Vejle Art Museum or on your own.
Fjordenhus consists of four interconnected cylinders with a height of 28 meters. The distinctive building rises from the water, creating a connection between Vejle Fjord and the city center.
In Fjordenhus art and construction have merged into a house filled with different angles and views depending on where you are.
Curved openings and windows frame the views of the fjord shores and harbor, while two of the ground floor rooms are traversed by water. In this way, the architecture and art in these rooms enter into a constant dialogue with the surrounding sea.

Experience the fantastic artworks on the open ground floor, get the fascinating story of the design and building process, and take a tour underwater to see the exhibition in the basement. Here, you can see a series of unique furniture pieces Eliasson has created especially for Fjordenhus. The exhibition can only be experienced on the guided tours.
The tours last about 60 minutes and start at the gangway bridge to Fjordenhus.
Remember sensible clothing. A large part of the tour takes place outdoors, and it can be cold and windy at the harbor.
