Jugendstilsenteret (Art Nouveau Centre)
Jugendstilsenteret
An Art Nouveau architecture museum housed in the former Swan Pharmacy, using multimedia to recreate the 1904 fire and the city’s rebuilding.
The Art Nouveau Centre (Jugendstilsenteret) is located in the Swan Pharmacy (Svaneapoteket) on Apotekergata in the old town. The building itself is a well-preserved Art Nouveau structure, and the pharmacy’s original interior is still intact. Exhibitions use a multimedia “time machine” to tell the story of the city’s rebuilding after the great fire of 1904, and present European Art Nouveau furniture and crafts. The KUBE Art Museum, connected to the same building, can be visited on the same ticket. It is recommended to visit here before strolling through the old town’s architecture.
