Jugendstilsenteret og KUBE

Super informative, compact museum that was excellent for learning more about Ålesund’s history. It was cool to go here before walking more around the city and recognizing all the Art Noveau around town! The contemporary exhibits were wonderful too. A must-visit!

Very much enjoyed this gem of a museum, the innovative Time Machine (also in English if required) gave us a great insight into the area's history. The helpful team kindly rejigged the art nouveau history slide shows to also play in English. The downstairs display indicating the battles to preserve the local architecture were familiar, whatever country you are from. Coffee and biscuits available. A short walk from the cruise terminal.

Beautiful art nouveau building with an interesting display and movie on Norways's Jungenstil movement. Also, all the other displays and exhibits were set up beautifully with detailed descriptions in English. Really enjoyed our visit here!!

Museum tells the interesting story of Ålesund en the Jugendstil/ Art Nouveau age. Extra: The 'Apotek' is the most beautiful entrance i have ever seen at a museum.

Interesting art nouveau exhibition in the old chemist, which is itself a lovely building to walk around. Not too long, some very nice pieces, and a changing exhibition next door is included.

This lovely Art Noveau museum collection is housed in an old Art Noveau pharmacy building that is equally lovely. The admission price includes use of the lockers, which was a welcome way to leave raincoats and backpacks behind for a while. A tunnel connects to the KUBE. Admission also includes the Fishing Museum, about a 10-minute walk away.

I had to enter twice because I could not believe it was a museum. My guide book said it looked like an old style pharmacy. It really does. You enter via a tiny gate in the counter. The building itself forms part of the museum itself showcasing its Art Nouveau style. Beautifully restored, each room showcases furniture, glassware, and other items. I thought the mulitmedia presentation dragged a little, which is why I rate this four. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed the stories about the history of Alesund and the art deco across Europe. The Norwegian enamel are worth seeing. The kube was disappointing I found.
