Interesting art nouveau and enamels collection
Jugendstilsenteret is located in the old Swan Pharmacy from 1907 and is both a museum and a national centre of Art Nouveau. The catastrophic fire of 1904 left the town of Ålesund in ashes. The rebuilding created one of Europe’s most characteristic architectural environments in the Art Nouveau style. Jugendstilsenteret offers insight into this style by means of authentic interiors and objects as well as temporary exhibitions. We also work with documentation, education and consulting. KUBE is the art museum in the county of Møre og Romsdal and is located in the former branch office building of Norges Bank (1906) in central Ålesund. Through a diverse programme of exhibitions and public activities, the museum aims to promote interest in and knowledge of visual arts, applied art, design and architecture. KUBE develops and manages an art collection focused on artworks and artists with connections to the region. To enter the museum shop and café you don't need a ticket .

After the fire...
The museum offers some nice exhibits, especially the dining room. The introduction through a time machine provides good information but the screens are very small and it looks a little bit outdated. Unfortunately the lower rooms were closed due to some work and also the Kube museum was closed. The reduced price of 75 kr is still a bit high. The shop is okay.

Two great museums/art galleries
Jugendstilsenteret is a great little museum in an old pharmacy. It has a fun "time machine" which explains the history of the fire that occurred in Alesund in the early 20th century. The collection upstairs has a great variety of examples from the art noveau movement. The Kube next door is a contemporary art space with interesting pieces. It was fun to explore and see the many pieces of art they had on display. Two brilliant visits for a great price. Well worth visiting!
