The Art Nouveau Centre

The Jugendarkitekturen is unmissable when you visit Ålesund. After the great fire of 1905, the town centre was rebuilt in the Jugend style and for this reason Ålesund is today a unique Jugend centre in the world. Visit the Jugendstil Centre, housed in one of the very first houses built in Jugendstil after the Great Fire. Discover the well-preserved Jugend rooms, furnished with furniture and design classics from the Jugend era. The entrance to the centre comes from the town's old Swan Pharmacy and is a classic example of Art Nouveau design. Step into a world dedicated to art and history from the time when Ålestund rose from the ashes.

There is also an art museum, Kube, which is worth a visit, and then there is a museum shop and of course the Apotekeren Kafé.
